Posted by: Yash Nov 30 2012, 07:28 PM
Hey guys, so, it snowed for the second time yesterday in Tver, AND.... last night, it got pretty intense, and in the morning, we found out that all public transport was down, and the classes got cancelled for the day. We're expecting the same for tomorrow. 
Its really awesome here. I went out for a little trip to buy some stuff, and clicked some pics along the way. Hope you guys enjoy it. And, guys, give me some tips to face all this stuff 
I know two Russians on the forum... and, I expect some tips from Mr. Rich too Enjoy the pics

I live in a part of the world where we have snow 8 months a year. Right now we have about 40 cm and it's freezing, -22 degrees celsius (-7.6 Fahrenheit), but it's ok. It'll get worse in december/january/february until it gets better in march... There's always a period where we're down to -30-35 degrees. It usually only last for a week or so, but still... 
Here's a photo from my home town, this is an old wooden castle just outside of town...

Looks like the same amount of snow we got here today. And it will keep on snowing to the next week.
When I left from work there was 2 buses on the bus stop. Crashed to each other. Also trains were late, cruise ships to Estonia and Sweden were really late. All police told people to leave cars home.
But finally we got snow here - but too much that we can handle.

Nice pics.
I hate the cold, it's only fun when you are inside with some good food and a fireplace, then it can be as cold as it wants outside.
We don't get as much snow as in north Sweden, Finland and most often not as much as those pictures from Russia.
But today 1st of December I woke up to the first little cover of white this winter. I ride my bike 7 kilometers to work, so I hope to have no snow on monday. I'd fit better in Spain or maybe California this time of year.

Im with ulrik on this topic.I hate the cold!
My sure way method to deal/survive the snow and cold is to avoid it. It looks nice from behind the window standing by a heater:P
I grew up in a sub-tropical climate where 12 degrees C was a freezing winters day!, but nowadays im living in Germany. Everytime the winter and snow rolls on in I always have that moment of thinking, "Why the hell im i here"! 
Posted by: Ben Higgins Dec 1 2012, 11:29 AM
These pics all look so beautiful ! But you know what ???
I hate having cold hands !! My fingertips feel completely numb !! 
Cold is not a guitarist's friend !

Ha, you don't live that far from Rottweil. I heard you guys at the Bodensee even got more snow than we did this week.
Posted by: Timmy b Dec 1 2012, 11:49 AM
Yeah Its really weird for the area! There is more snow now then there was all last winter! (almost!) There's been a layer of snow for the last few days, usually it just melts away into a nice slush!
Posted by: Ben Higgins Dec 1 2012, 12:01 PM
I just went outside to take the dog for a short walk. It was so cold it made my eyeballs hurt.
What's that all about ??? 
Posted by: Dieterle Dec 1 2012, 01:22 PM
for a walk with the dog a good season now -- the dirt is hard now and i don`t have to wash my dog
after running strait through the fields
but it feels like this year we get a hard and real winter time !
..... great pictures in this thread thanks for sharing it!

Ooooooooooohhhhhhhhhhh crap, did I somehow ask for more snow this morning?
Posted by: WeePee Dec 2 2012, 09:12 AM
Hah now it looks like in here
Posted by: Alex Feather Dec 2 2012, 09:23 AM
I miss snow so much!!! In California we have a place called big bear it's up in the mountains and reminds me of Canada a lot so everytime I want to feel cold and play snowballs I'm going over there!!! Great place!
Posted by: Ben Higgins Dec 2 2012, 03:16 PM
Maybe it's because we keep talking about it so it gives us more !!
Posted by: Slavenko Erazer Dec 3 2012, 10:28 AM
I hope it will be snow in Serbia these days..i haven't seen it for 10 months and then were snow half of meter big!!
I want it so badly, to get that feeling like im somewhere in the middle of nowhere in Norway 
BTW, it seems that everybody here except me and Yash hates show
Posted by: Ben Higgins Dec 3 2012, 11:02 AM
I love looking at snow.. I hate trying to function in it !
Posted by: Ben Higgins Dec 3 2012, 12:30 PM

Lada Caravan... awesome ! I did wonder if you would know !!
I saw that dolphin story but haven't read it yet
Posted by: Gabriel Leopardi Dec 3 2012, 04:34 PM
Awesome pics mate! There is no snow here... we are having very hot days, combined with some electric storms ones... so we are getting tropical... 
Posted by: Patrik Berg Dec 4 2012, 12:00 AM
makes me yearn for the home lands, i grew up in Uppland Orbyhus and move to australia in 87, I was 12, right now it is 38 degrees and it's only 9am. I'm melting just sitting here but I have another trench to dig, there is a good chance I'm going to die.
Those photos from russia look awesome, I have similar photos from the farm back in sweden.

Oh man, best of luck.. hope you do ok !

This is a usual thing even when it's summer Traffic in Russia is crazy!

And there is no way out you just have to wait!
