Winter in Latvia

It was cold in Riga when I got on an airplane to go home for Christmas, so I knew that it would be cold when I got back. Little did I know that I'd be greeted with snow! Not only was I greeted with snow, but days and days of snow falling! It has made the city into a white wonderland (as you can see by the pictures). The funny thing is that it is actually warmer (or seems warmer) when it snows. On the days that it isn't snowing, the Nordic Wind comes blowing through Riga, making the noses and checks of the pedestrians red. I am wearing tons of layers to keep warm. My meals now consist of something hot, whether it be soup (a new recipe for soup that I created here), oatmeal or other heated dishes. But I'm dealing with the cold :^)
