Trying To Keep Warm during Winter in Warsaw
The picture above is of me trying to keep warm in freezing winter weather in Warsaw this morning.
The coldest weather I've ever experienced in Poland was -32, it was one Sunday afternoon while visiting the Society of St. Pius X church in Wielowieszka, near Radość, on the outskirts of Warsaw about 10 years ago. Also had it really bad walking to work at about 7 o'clock in the morning last year when it was about
-26.
However, the most shocking piece of weather I've experienced was when I was working in Nowy Sącz (in the foothills of the Tatra Mountains) in 1997 and the temperature literally dipped from about +10 Celsius in the morning to about -27 Celsius in the early evening. As a result, I got frostbite which always returns at the first sign of any seriously cold weather.
Below, there is a plane sitting in an airfield at Stare Bemowo where I was working yesterday:
Just hope the snow/winter freeze doesn't stay long with us this year, as we had to endure it from October 2012 to April 2013 last winter. Having said that, the real winter weather only arrived here a couple of weeks ago, but, still, let's hope it doesn't stay too long.
