The Moscow Times is reporting that temperatures this fall were 4.4 degrees above normal. Last winter, we barely got any snow. So far, it’s off to a slow start this year too. What’s still hard to get used to though is the constant dimness of the light this far north. The street lights never turn off during the day and you rarely see the sun from November till March. Moscow is at 55 degrees latitude, which is roughly the same as Fort McMurray, Alberta.
