Snowy scenes in Kaliningrad 2021\/2022<\/h2>\n\n\n\n

Published: 31 January 2022 ~ All White in Kaliningrad More Snow on its Way!<\/p>\n\n\n\n

For the past three or four days <\/strong>the rain has been teeming down here in Kaliningrad. It has washed away the snow and left the city and my shirt, which is hanging on the balcony railings, looking gloomy and bedraggled ~ as I wrote in a previous post, Kaliningrad is far from its best during a rainy winter season!<\/p>\n\n\n\n

I also wrote in an earlier blog that \u2018It always snows in Russia ~ and sometimes it doesn\u2019t<\/a>\u2019. Such flippancy becomes me, but affirmation that all is still well can come from the strangest of sources. A few moments ago, I consulted the BBC weather forecast and contrary to my expectations of alighting upon something inexcusably liberal-left, such as for the next seven days it will be sunny over the English Channel, perfect weather conditions for the Royal Navy to taxi across more migrants, I was heartened to discover that more snow was making its way to Kaliningrad. Good, white snow!<\/p>\n\n\n\n

The fall may not be sufficient to make hundreds of snow-Its but, as winter still holds illimitable dominion over the calendar, until such time as spring breaks a little more snow is unlikely to offend a conservative outlook on how the seasons should conduct themselves.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

All White in Kaliningrad More Snow on its Way!<\/h3>\n\n\n\n

To tide us over, I have selected and posted here a number of what I consider to be atmospheric \u2018Kaliningrad in the snow’ scenes taken just before Christmas 2021 and after Christmas in 2022.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Those of you who are still children at heart will feel the magic in what you see; those of you who have grown up too quickly, grown too old without realising it or just grown out of it, will be excused for thinking snowballs but pitied for a species of short-sightedness that any number of trips to Specsavers is unlikely to resolve.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Every snow cloud has a sublime lining!<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n
