Thank You! I threw off so that people have the idea, sometimes it seems that people think that in Siberia is very cold, this is not always true, and that the snow there's nothing in there, but there are a lot of rivers, lakes, forests (especially spruce) mountains, steppes, with the very clear as the far East and Kamchatka. By the way recently in this region (Omsk) came Canadian youth team on hockey (From the province of Ontario), while the were very surprised. The city is very large compared to their native city and the temperature is the same as in their native city.And the U.S. team as well. But out of all the teams were very friendly it was an American team. They were allowed into the dressing room and journalists and fans themselves and behaved very well and with dignity

Even a lot of people in the Western part of Russia think that Siberia has a very cold climate and it's true, because even my city that located on 52N has milder climate than almost all Siberia and Far East. For example, my city has same the average annual temperature as in city of Posyet at the Far East, which is located on the 42th parallel north.

The climate is such a thing that depends on a lot of things, humidity, warm currents and winds. An example of the Kamchatka need may be the air temperature in the winter, the reason of the abundance of snow and direct sunlight. In summer the temperature sometimes reaches and 34 according to Celsius and in February to - 33 about 2 weeks it in the area of Avacha Bay (Petropavlovsk-Kamchatsky) In the Central areas of significantly warmer especially in the area of Esso. So in the summer sunbathing is possible and in Siberia and the far East. Although the us and in the Winter you can sunbathe, especially on volcanoes riding a snowboard without a shirt or t-shirt with that will be very hot.
