Time to dress up with wool

 

 

And it should be double layer. This maybe not indicate that Moscow have charm, but we have seen that even with a temperature between minus 10 and minus 20 degree C this city have charm.

 

It could be that our eyes see all in from a different angel and that we are European at heart, but have the cold winter gives also the light a possibility to play with the colors of the buildings around so much warmth that is a joy to have the stroll around.

 

Yes, you need your double layer of wool. Or as many here in Moscow use, a large, down to the ankle fur, and looking ahead on the forecast it sure is needed. Many today maybe would react on the use, but here in Moscow it is needed. I am sure there is no other city that has so many shops that sale fur than Moscow.

 

You will find them in many price levels. Depend on the type of fur you look for, but you must expect a minimum of $ 5000 USD for one made of lamb and reach almost down to your ankles and have a hood. Hood is something also needed. It makes the wind chill stay away and keep your cheeks not get that itchy feeling that the wind at times gives.

 

 

It is noted that we live in a country used with this cold weather and as Norwegians we adapt to it rather quickly. We were skeptical to the move from Houston to Moscow. This time a year we may see Houston with a nice 15 to 20 degree C, but unexpected also due to that Russia do not have summertime changes the adaption of the Russian winter have gone more smoothly than expected. What I can say now is that we love Moscow in the autumn and what we have seen so far of the winter we love that too. Even the fake clouds made by the power generation plants and the plants that make the central heating system in Moscow.

 

 

 

 

I do not think it was because of winter I got me a surprise on the way home walking my wife to the Metro this morning. Just outside where we live, on the sidewalk, a damaged car. It takes 8 minutes down to the station so within the time frame of 15 minutes this accident happens. It could have happen as we passed it to the station or me coming back home.

 

It is noted as well that most accidents happens by running into a car in front of you. I have done it so I know all about it, but this one when the street is not busy at all, just have to say, stupid guy. Wake up and I am sure he did when he (and I expect is it a man) made the connection with the car in front of him.

 

Do as me to wake up, a 15-20 minute walk in the morning, in the winter chill of Moscow make me wake up and start the day. I will stay away from driving in Moscow, could be hit by a guy in the back.
