Right now temperature in Estonia where I live is near -30 and Estonia is not the coldest country here. Our climate is influenced by the Baltic Sea which makes it wetter and warmer. Russia, Ukraine, and Poland are in large part more continental climatically and suffer usually even more despite being located in more southerly latitudes (except parts of Russia of course).Siim Sepphttp://www.sandatlas.org/noreply@blogger.com
