“”MOSCOW – A bitter cold spell in Russia has claimed 123 lives in the past 10 days, an official said Tuesday, with the unseasonably early freeze testing authorities in a country used to notoriously tough winters.

Temperatures have plunged to up to minus 30 degrees Celsius (minus 34 degrees Fahrenheit) in the Moscow region and up to minus 60 degrees Celsius (minus 51 degrees Fahrenheit) in Eastern Siberia.

“Since the start of the cold, 123 people have died of exposure and frostbite,” a medical source was quoted by the Interfax news agency as saying.

Sochi is a former resort for the party elite on the Black Sea. It is probably the first winter olympics site that has palm trees growing there as this photo shows.

Ask Obama. He thinks he knows everything. Pretty sure he actually does know about this stuff.
