Siberian region faces record bitter cold Friday
2008-01-19
(Itar-Tass) -- The Tomsk region in West Siberia will have to survive record bitter cold on Friday, as temperature is to fall to minus 42 degrees Centigrade, and a storm warning has been announced.

Frosts of minus 30 degrees have been reported in the region for a week, causing local power outages due to immense electricity consumption, as residents switched on all the heaters. Houses in nine streets of the regional center of Tomsk, including central Lenin Avenue, remained without electricity on Monday for half a day. Another seven main streets were in blackout for a whole day on Tuesday. Power engineers fear new outages because of bitter frosts, which weathermen said would continue in the coming days.

#12  Sometimes I wakes up in the morning on such a day as today, with 45 f and STRATIFORM rain, and get low, real low, then I have some COLUMBIAN coffee and remember that JOE! is on our side and I feel better, knowing there's nothing that can stop an honest man.

#6  That image looks manipulated to me. There's some structure in the flames which suggests that they have been extended to appear larger than they actually are.

#4  Joe, give me a heads up when you and the Mendiolistani tribe are massing to invade DC. I'll meet you at the border (under a parley flag of course), and we will take salt and talk of affairs. I will also provide whiskey for your men and beer for your horses.
