Good old winter cheer...

Usually Moscow and Boston have a lot in common as far as winter weather goes. However, this year, Boston has chosen to skip out on the snow. Moscow, on the other hand, has been bombarded. It's kind of sad for us here in the first world, though. I mean, I can't walk down the street and look at all the usual snow sculptures that the kids spend so much of their time making. Lucky for everyone, Moscow has more than made up for any snow creation that could exist here.

In an unusual festive manner, Muscovites have built more than 200 snowpeople on their famous pedestrian street, The Arbat. There're snowmen, snow families, snow-women, snow pets and, of course, everyone's favorite, creepy snow child molesters.



I think the big one's eye is twitching...
