I'm sure it was ruling headlines around the world, but just in case you weren't aware, there was more snow this year in St. Petersburg than there had been for the last 140 years. It's now the end of March and the temperatures have just started rising above zero (Celsius, that is) and the mountains of snow are just now beginning to melt. The days of lethal icicles falling from the sky, sidewalks transforming into ice rinks, and thoughts about buying a dogsled and a team of huskies seem to be a part of the past...at least until November.
Hopefully these pictures (all taken near my work) will give you a good idea of the "winter wonderland" which has been St. Petersburg for the last 5 months.
