I read with...Greetings and Apologies to Anonymous!<br /><br />I read with interest your comment back in January, but I failed to reply to your worthy observations.<br /><br />Yes, it's been a surprise to me over the past ten years that the snowfalls are not impressive by NJ standards. I used to live in Hunterdon County, next to Pennsy, too. Maybe you remember the winter of 77-78 which was bitter cold, all January being below 0 F... with lots more snow than you will see in St Petersburg Russia.<br /><br />When you come to Russia, keep traveling till you get to Siberia, which has the snow of Russian legends.<br /><br />Thanks again for stopping by. I will answer with alacrity next time you comment!Rob MacDonaldhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/17050545070418063352noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-9030144909492747445.post-24498862651951120522010-02-22T21:17:39.995+03:002010-02-22T21:17:39.995+03:00I'm surprised, mostly by the fact that the AMO...I'm surprised, mostly by the fact that the AMOUNTS of snow in both St Petersburg and Moscow don't seem to be as much as we have had here in NJ (outside Philly) this winter, we had 45" in ONE WEEK. Granted it is so much colder over there, there is probably no melting at all in February, but still I always figured such ridiculous amounts of snow were typical of the Russian winter. Someday I would LOVE to visit in winter and experience Russia for myself. A fascinating posting by the way thank you,Anonymousnoreply@blogger.com
