The 4 Seasons of Russia

So the snow is finally melthing... it actually looks like winter is coming to a close. As you may have in the many joke lists describing Pennsylvania, they say in northeast Pennsylvania, the 4 seasons are: almost winter, winter, still winter, and construction. Well, in Russia, I think the four seasons are: too hot, too snowy, too icy, and too muddy. We are now in the "too muddy" season now... with all the snow and the cities being so flat, the water is slow to disappear...

So now, the big fur hats are slowly disappearing... people are getting our their spring jackets, and the roads are full of potholes that can swallow small cars. We're looking forward to the return of the green grass and leafy trees... it can't be too long from now :)
