For the whole week I've been here the sun made an appearance for only one afternoon, and then for yesterday. I woke up this morning and opened my eyes and was immediately blinded by the sunlight, which was at first disorienting and then made me really excited! The city is so much more beautiful in the sunlight.
On the other hand, its been absolutely freezing since Wednesday. For instance, today is -9ºC, which is 16ºF. We've had to cancel trips to outdoor destinations simply because of the cold, and yesterday was so cold that our heat was off in the building all day because the system stopped working (kind of ironic, huh?).
The wind is what's making it so cold. It's coming from Siberia or somewhere up there and it's so strong that you can hear it from inside. I heard it while trying to fall asleep.
On the bright side, because yesterday was also somewhat clear I finally saw Mont Blanc! It's absolutely gorgeous and really does tower over the whole city. I couldn't see all of it because there were some clouds but I took a picture:
