Weather

Ever since we got here, the sky has been any of a variety of shades of gray. We have snow on the ground but no new snow since Tuesday. Temperature, as best we gather, has ranged from about -7C to +2C (That's about 18F - 35F). We have been told that -15C to -23C (+5F to -10F) is not unusual for February. Can't wait! NOT!

The weather in the first region we visited seemed slightly colder than Kiev with more snow. Still gray skies. Will be interested to see what it is like in the next region. Depends entirely on where we end up.

And then today in Kiev the skies cleared and we had beautiful blue, cloudless sky. Unfortunately, Cliff was the only one to get out in it. Viv is still not well. Fever today in addition to the cough and stuffy nose. So Emma and I stayed in with her. I think a day of rest did her a lot of good.
