Moscow's mayor Yury Luzhkov wants to fine weather reporters for inaccurate forecasts - and says he'll drop all government funding for Moscow's weather bureau unless it agrees to the proposal. The mayor is angry that Moscow was ill prepared for what was the largest snowfall in its history last month and blames weather forecasters for predicting the storm would hit another day.
This is my favorite street in Moscow, promenade at Arbat, all covered in snow and square in front of Actors Guild building looks busy with all the snowmen and snowomen.
