| schestowitz | We've had winter here until last week. It's unprecedented. I never recall anything at all like this. The US had had weird weather too. In other parts of the world summer came very early; I heard it's similar near the equator. The climate is drunk, it needs to go to sleep. | Apr 16 13:15 |
