Epiphany frosts
We have a lot of guests now in Kazan. However, many of them did not expect it to be so cold here!
It is always cold in Russia in this part of January. Our ancestors called the weather “Epiphany frosts”. On the 19th January the Russian Orthodox Church celebrates Jesus Christ’s baptizing. Usually we have the air temperature on the 19th January of around -20-30 Ñ.
Well, now it is zero but only 5 days ago we had –15/-20 C!
So if you are going to visit Russia think about warm clothes!
By the way, in hard frosts women write longer letters:). They get frozen all over while getting to the agency and want to stay here longer and feel the warmth of our office! That’s why they write more :)
You should understand those that delay their answers. Women living very far from our office find it hard to get here when it is very cold outside. Sometimes it takes them an hour. And you should appreciate the pains women take while getting to the agency in order to write a letter to you: after a hard working day they go to the opposite part of the city in darkness and frosts in order to warm you with their words!
Indeed, only Russian ladies are capable for this :-)
