| Direct Translation via Google Translate. Edited. [Regnum] Three temperature records were broken in St. Petersburg on January 4. This was announced by the chief weather forecaster of St. Petersburg, Alexander Kolesov, in his Telegram channel. According to him, on January 4, three records were broken in the city - night, day and average daily temperatures. “It turns out that the day on January 4 of this year is generally the coldest in the history of the city, and the deviation of air temperature from the norm yesterday was 19.5 degrees,” the specialist noted. Kolesov clarified that on the day of January 4, the temperature in the city did not exceed -22.1 degrees, while the previous record of -18.1 degrees was repeated twice (in 1985 and 2003). The forecaster noted that the average daily temperature exceeded the previous record of 1950 (-22.1 degrees), dropping to -23.6 degrees. Previously, he reported that between 8 and 9 o'clock on January 4, the air temperature in the city center dropped to -25.3 degrees. “Before this, the record had been held since the frosty year of 1950, then in Leningrad on January 4 the air temperature dropped to -25.1 degrees,” the weather forecaster noted. As reported by IA Regnum, according to forecasts from Roshydromet forecasters, during the period from January 6 to 8, abnormally cold weather will continue in Moscow with an average daily temperature of 7–15 degrees below the climate norm. Due to dangerous phenomena, the agency recommended not to use electrical appliances not intended for this purpose to heat rooms. Leading specialist at the Phobos weather center, Evgeny Tishkovets , noted that, according to weather forecasters, in Moscow the night of January 4 became the coldest since the beginning of winter, the temperature dropped to minus 27.1 degrees. There had not been such frosts in the Russian capital on that day for 42 years. Points for free distribution of hot non-alcoholic drinks have been opened in Moscow parks. It is noted that residents and guests of the city can treat themselves to hot non-alcoholic drinks (mulled wine, tea, coffee) in parks under the jurisdiction of the capital’s Department of Culture, where points for free distribution of drinks have been opened. It is clarified that the points were opened to make visitors feel more comfortable in cold weather. Abnormal frosts in Moscow affect the work of Sheremetyevo Airport. A 24-hour operational headquarters has been established at the airport and measures are being taken. Thus, parking staff help owners warm up and start their cars. On January 4, more than 250 motorists took advantage of this assistance when leaving parking lots.

| #3 Greta just turned 21? Give her a bottle of vodka. That'll keep her warm. Might mellow her out a bit. |
