It's hard not to always be saying something about the weather when you live in a place where the weather is undeniably pretty awful for a large portion of the year. I try not to dwell on the cold too much, but I'm going to allow myself a quick weather post anyway.
All I really wanted to say is that today and yesterday were two of the warmest days we've had since the end of November. It was about 14°F outside today, and I felt ready to start wearing my fall coat. I was sitting on the bus thinking "Wow, it really feels like Spring! It must be so warm! I wonder why there is no snow melting." Then when I checked the weather back in my apartment I realized it is still 100% winter, with temperatures that I would have considered quite cold back in Ohio.
So there's my thought for today.
Oh! Also, ate a lot of blins this afternoon with my buddies Katya and Yana, and I encourage my friends back home to make themselves some pancakes today to celebrate Maslenitsa.

I woke up this morning to pancakes (extremely rare). The cosmic buttery energy of Maslenitsa must have reached my mother in the night!
ReplyDeleteSun is out in Grinnell today. 20 degrees can be pretty darn cold if the wind is blowing and the sun is behind a cold. We have about 6 inches to a foot or more of snow on the ground--keeping things nice and crisp. Will be mudlicious when it all starts to melt. Think of those large dog paws.
