Sochi Russia Weather

[badbadboy]

Now think back how stressed out our Canadian Olympic Committee were over our unseasonably warm weather we had back in 2010 for the Olympics.

I have been checking the weather lately in Sochi, Russia. I am not wishing them the same problems with the lack of snow and really warm, wet weather but one has to wonder if several weeks in a row they have had weather above +10 C ??

Hope it works out well for them but at this time it looks like they too will have a lack of snow plus rain and above 0 degrees C for the next while....

the snow machines are on standby.
but really, as long as it doesn't affect the rink then it's all good.

True but the Cross Country Skiing, Down Hill Skiing, Moguls etc will really suck and just give Letterman more material for his Top Ten List. :nod:

Well they have another 4 weeks. However, Sochi is a Black Sea resort with Palm trees. I suppose the Olympics will actually be in the mountains.
