Different Seasons by MrRandMcnally
Summer in Moscow can be beautiful. Blue skys, temperatures in the 70sF. There are often sudden showers in the afternoon but they are over quick. There are occasional outdoor concerts and festivals in the city, a very nice time to be there.Winter has charms of its own. It is COLD in Moscow in the winter, to state the obvious. I meen cold, it can get as low as-40, probably lower. Ice covers the sidewalks and Red Square itslef is slippery from ice. None the less there are advantages. The Opera and ballet are in full swing and there's nothing quite like snow on the domes of St. Basil.
