Good morning/afternoon Yul.

hey hey. We have full snow here in London for the first time in 11 years I was here!

streets look deserted and beutiful

very beautiful

There is big pile of snow outside my front door, about 4 feet high.

Since it was mostly put there by me, shoveling my drive way and walk, I tend not to notice how beautiful it is.

When I lived in Moscow, I was commuting to college every day. It was in the forest and I had to walk through the snow pass with the snow high up to my waist in some places. Not fun

We had about 3 feet of snow in one day about 12 years ago. I walked to the grocery store the next day, like you said, there was snow up to my waist too.

We normally get all the snow cleared off the roads and walks very quickly, but 30+ inches of snow changes is a different matter.

Oops, delete *changes*.

I think it's a nationwide disaster in UK at the mo. Trains are not running and cars are colliding

They are not prepared because it is so rare that they get so much snow.

yes.

I wasn't prepared myself.

We see the problems Washington D.C. is having with all the snow they got this winter and laugh. It's nothing to us, but they are like London, unprepared.

In fact, quite a few southern states are seeing more snow than usual this winter.

A lot of people must be wondering what happened to global warming.

At least it's will be good for nature things. They will wake up clean

Yes, its natural.

this sudoku is very easy.

Yul, why were you living in Russia? Just for study or what?

by the way, I can get autogreen again! Go figure!

Inge, it is probably because you closed your browser before you went to bed last night and opened a new instance today.

I don't think your problems were related to the IronSudoku website, they were javascript problems.

my sudoku site is fragile. Some of the time it says "tomorow's puzzle willbe available in one minute"

I am Russian/British. I live in the UK now. But I was born and finished school and college in Russia

Russia is the most surreal country, even if you live there every day it bewilders you

Ever heard of the pianist Alexander Ghindin? I saw him win the Cleveland Intern. Piano Competition two years ago. Currently he does concerts in the USA.

The IronSudoku website runs javascript on your browser. Every 15 seconds the script wakes up and checks with the server to get an update on the chatterbox and the time for the next puzzle.

No, but there are so many very good music schools there..

In 2001 I took a Baltic cruise with a long stop in St. Petergsburg. That is all I know of Russia. Our daughter (als a sudokuer) majored in Russian at U. Of Minn and is studying Russian hstory at UNVLV (las Vegas)

So, running autogreen injects some more javascript code into your browser. If there is a typo in your autogreen code it could cause strange problems.

St Petersburg is amazing...

I meant *also* a sudokuer

Dr Who, thanks for the explanation, but I am not a technical nerd. YOu are leaving me behind

My granddad was one of engineers who build a DneproGES and StalingradGES. GES is an abbreviation of an equivalent of 'electric power station' If your daughter have an interest in Stalingrad and electrification of Russia, I would be happy to help, Inge

I will ask her. Actually she is looking for a thesis topic right now. Get this! My new internist is enarmored with Stalingrad. He keeps dreaming of its skyline!

Inge, the short of it is, next time it happens, try closing your browser and restarting it.

thanks Dr. Who, I will do that.

I will now email Sydaria, my daughter. Incidentally Eyeman is A.Ghindin's agent

I was living across the river from Volgograd (Stalingrad) for 15 years. I went to school in Volzhski, it's a smaller town across Volga river built to house Electric power station personnel. Now it got around 300 000 population and several massive factories there.

Inge, you can reach me throug volzhski@gmail.com

just make sure the mail has a relevant subject

a subject field filled or It will go to spam.

I have to run. Have a nice day everybody
