Uff, what a Winter. 0 C snow/rain for weeks now. We can feel global warming over here as well. This is my 6th Winter in Moscow. Last one was pretty mild already and this one started out fine with normal temperatures of -15 C, but for the past weeks we have the dirty slush and it doesn’t seem to come to an end. Worse is only the ice rain. Sometimes temperatures drop below 0C at the bottom, but slightly above Moscow it must be warmer, because its raining down on Moscow and turns it into an ice city. This happened about 3 times in the past week and this morning I slid to work again.

Its a problem for me with sneakers or mountain shoes already, but how painful is this for all of these high heeled women. I pay big respect to their ability to cope with this. Like the girl in front of me this morning. I was walking on a side street of Tverskaya near Pushkinskaya and its going downhill, but the walkway also drops to the left as well. You are sliding in a 45 degree angle to the down left into the parking cars. This girl was managing to walk down straight on the sidewalk with ultra high heels and she almost never slid or stopped. Only once at the bottom she went a bit more slowly. Respect!
