Ugh! Good luck withthat! I am NOT looking forward to this winter...already way too cold for November

Good one, Mike! 😆 😆

We'll have some spare cold for you starting Monday when an Arctic outflow hits us.
This one'll be bad, from early reports.

Happy Thanksgiving to our U.S. friends!

As you sit down to that turkey dinner, remember "once on the lips, forever on the hips". :bootyshake:

Turkey? Whiskey?
Hey?

Never had a luck cooking this bird. Definitely it's not a Central Asia nomads food choice. Horse meat is more delicious!

Hey Igor... what crazy weather you are having...freezing recently and now 9C/48F at 3 am... positively tropical 😆
No snow for me yet either. Lowest temp so far is -3.5C. Abutilons still flowering as are the Hebes. Musas browned off and Tetrapanax leaves sulking. No seriously cold weather expected until a week Saturday. One of our sensationalist papers the Daily Express has forecast a three month freeze 🙄 http://www.express.co.uk/news/uk/445766/The-BIG-freeze-Get-ready-as-sharp-icy-blast-returns-to-last-three-months

In Southern Ontario and Western New York more than half a dozen ski resorts are opening today or tomorrow. It has been 25 years or more since a November opening day.

Igor and Andy, looks like the winter you had last year, we have this year?
We are talking about skiing tomorrow!

Hey Igor,
I have had horse meat in Eastern europe, but I prefer turkey for thanksgiving. Do you all eat alot of deer (venison) and (rabbit) in your region? We hunt and munch on both hre, love it!

Hope all is well in your part of the world...send me you rcoordinates so I can check out your place on google earth and weather channels.... Happy Holidays, Igor

Mike, the nomad people in Kazakhstan prefer the horse, ship and cattle meat. Usually December is a month when Kazakh families slaught either one specially feed horse or cow which are a winter season food. In kazakh language it's called "sogim" - winter meat. Since I am not Kazakh but so called "Russian" - blue eyes, shaten hairs, our family is not a part of the nomad custom but I like buying and cooking the horse meat. Actually it is not a horse meat I had been buying in Italian traditional food stores in Toronto many years ago but something very special. As for hunting I'm not a fun neither of the hunting nor fishing. We have no rabbits in Kazakhstan but the bores, deers, wild goats and wild sheeps are the subjects of hunting in Kazakhstan.
By the way I am at 43.189574,76.915704 ... 1027.648 m / 3371.548 feet

Andy, Adam. Normally the winter starts in my area after December the 1st. And it STARTS... A lot of snow, some cold. But January is a realy winter month here. The coldest one. By the way Omaha, Nebraska has the same climate as my town has. We are might more snowy but absolutely windless...

Interesting info, Igor! 😀

We've joined the first snow bunch.
Just a skiff, photo bombed.
