This past week has seen the coldest temperatures Kiev has had in decades. The lows were -28C (-18F) and the highs never above -13C (8F). The local schools here closed from Wed-Friday but good old PSI stayed open and Gio and I made the trek there each morning. He did not have outdoor recess all week but they did let them loose in the gym each day.
Here are some images from our week. It finally warmed up to -8C (7F) today and with a steady snow falling all day we enjoyed some outside time at the park. As you can imagine, this entire week has been a dream come true for Enzo!

| This is about the warmest it got all week- a raging inferno of +4F at noon on Monday. |
 |
| Gio's hook at school. |
 |
| Saturday we hit the park in the midst of a snow storm. |
 |
| Enzo is always eager to strike up a friendship with any size dog he can find. |
 |
| This is one of our favorite dogs at the park. Benji is ALWAYS dressed in top fashion. Here he is sporting a puffy coat and sheepskin boots. |
 |
| As happy as a dog can be. Enzo in his element.... |
 |
| ....and his second happiest place to be- keeping Paolo company as he works. A World Bank economist's work is never done, but it does help to have a furry beast nearby. |

Oh my gosh, Clara you are so stalwart and brave! I can do revolutions, but not that kind of sub-zero weather.
ReplyDeleteAlso you have learned the celsius temperature scale, which is harder than arabic, if you ask me. Bravo!
Hi, Laura! I cheat on the C-F conversions! Just an app on my iPhone. Hee Hee. You and I have our own crazy battles in our countries, don't we? I have loved your posts about Thomas and am so thrilled about his successes!
