[color="#2e8b57"]You know they say it depends upon the air humidity…dat means -40 in Sybiria in nothing comparing to -20 somewhere in St.Petersburg. Humid cold air is really unbearable. Well as I’m 100% Siberian girl I like cold weather and winter activity…And it’s true that you can meet tough guys eating ice-cream in a street when it is 30 degrees below zero))) <img src='http://www.melbournechat.org/public/style_emoticons/<#EMO_DIR#>/kosa.gif' class='bbc_emoticon' alt=':kosa:' /> But the deeper cold penetrates through your body reaching your bones the stronger you desire to move to some hotter place on this Earth))) <img src='http://www.melbournechat.org/public/style_emoticons/<#EMO_DIR#>/fishie.gif' class='bbc_emoticon' alt=':fishie:' />

i was wondering if the russian's fondness for vodka has anything to do with this (after all, doesn't alcohol lower the freezing point of liquids?)
