All Quiet on the Eastern Front
The snow has finally arrived! It's been coming down for two days, and everyone here has breathed a sigh of relief. The seemingly eternal mud pit his banished for the time being, and the landscape looks clean and new. And it's finally cold enough for Sandy's 'dublonka' - the crazy brown coat with fur hood that is too warm for any temperatures above freezing. We are safely in the 20s today.
We are gearing up for our Close of Service conference next week, where we'll gather with those left in our group who started with us in late Feb 2005 from Chicago. Peace Corps reserved a ski resort in the Carpathian mountains, and there are rumors it is really nice. Thus, the snow is doubly welcome as this is the first big snow in the Carpathians as well and we thought it would be the first January ever without snow in the mountains of Ukraine.
Hope all is well in your neck of the woods.
Paka,
The Jacobses

That snow took a long time to come. It is almost February! I'm having to wear heavy socks with my boots now. Still no need for gloves just yet. The weather is very pretty here in Tallahassee. Not too cold (except first thing in the a.m.)and not too warm.
