I am living in Yaroslavl, Russia. It's about four hours to Moscow and twelve to St. Petersburg by train.
So far the weather has been pretty warm. My first week every day was in the high 80s or low 90s. Lately it has been probably in the 80s. The skies are usually clear or partly cloudy. It's not very windy here. I once saw about 15 minutes of rain. Apparently it rained for a week straight just before I got here.
My area of Russia looks like Wisconsin. The countryside is slightly hilly with plenty of forest and a little prairie/farmland. There aren't many lakes, but the big Volga River runs through town. Of course, the landscape here could be very different than other areas of Russia. Russia is the biggest country on earth (nearly twice the size of the United States, including Alaska), so the climate and land can really vary from north to south and from east to west.
It looks like my area, around Yaroslavl, is pretty nice. People are waiting to use the computer behind me so I'll finish up here. Things are going well and I'm still safe and healthy.
