In neighbouring Latvia, many schools were empty as parents kept their children at home as temperatures dropped to minus 30 degrees C Thursday morning in northern and eastern regions of the Baltic country.
According to Latvian law, children under 12 can skip school if temperatures fall to lower than minus 20 degrees C (minus four F).
In the western town of Liepaja, the local authorities said drivers could not start their buses and cars, particularly those running on diesel.
The Latvian environment, geology and meteorology agency said temperatures in some regions could fall to minus 32 degrees C (minus 25.6 F) in coming days, before rising on Monday.
While my brother in law Edward Crockford and his family have been shivering in the cold that has gripped eastern europe and Russia, we here in Italy have been enjoying mostly warm sunny weather. What did I do yesterday? I sat on the beach enjoying the sunshine on my face and improving my tan! Here in Chiavari it was a perfectly comfortable PLUS 18 degrees Celsius, or 64 degrees Fahrenheit! Yesterday in Rome, it was 26 degrees Celsius or 80 degrees Fahrenheit! Forecast for the weekend..... More of the same!
Wish you were here!
