Winter in Russia RU-3582675 RU-3626544 RU-3839702 RU-3920083 RU-4027660 RU-

My latest postcard of winter in Russia came from Anya of Moscow (RU-4949872).  This postcard has white silhouettes of a girl and a crane and that is very intriguing.  Perhaps this is about a folk tale of winter in Russia?

Earlier notes:
Siberia in Russia is a very large area and so its climate varies dramatically.  All of it however has basically short summers and long cold winters.  Almost all the population of Siberia lives in the south along the Trans-Siberian Railway.


The first postcard came from Tomsk which is in the South. The climate in this southern part is humid continental climate with cold winters but fairly warm summers. The January average temperature in this part of Siberia is about −20 °C (−4 °F) .

Labelled “From Siberia with Snow Love”, this postcard came from Svetlana (15 April 2015) Postcrossing.

The second postcard came "with greetings from cold and snow(y) Siberia" and was sent by  Анастасия (8 June 2015) Postcrossing.  I could not identify the castle in the postcard so I have put the postcard under "Winter".




































This third postcard does not indicate where the locality is.  It came from Dmitry (15 August 2015) Postcrossing.
The fourth postcard is another winter scene.  It came from Anna (27 August 2015) Postcrossing.
The fifth postcard of winter is from Polina (16 October 2015) Postcrossing and the sixth winter postcard came from (15 October 2015) Postcrossing.
