Before I opened my blog to post tonight I wanted to see what the weather was going to be here in Moscow and in Cincinnati. It was easy to do. All that is required was a simple click on the Weather Channel and find Moscow was going to be 18 degrees F today with winds from the South East at 4 mph. Since we were going to take a two hour trip to a remote part of this huge city Steve and I knew we needed to put on several layers of clothing. (The layers were quite inadequate as we rode the Metro, an old broken down bus and hitched a ride in a tiny 1970's Lada for about six dollars after walking and freezing for almost an hour.)
Then I clicked on the Cincinnati Enquirer and took a look at the traffic cameras located out near my house in Symmes Twp. The temp was about the same as it is in Moscow but the traffic was sparse compared to what the people face here in this city of 14 million. (Traffic was stuck for hours last week during the first real snow of the season. Thousands of people entertained themselves with text messaging each other and the local radio station for traffic news. One guy was struck by the Christmas decorations that are still up and proclaimed, "What are you people doing leaving those decorations up this late?)
More later.
