Winter Is Normally Tough In Kazakstan But This Year It’s Especially Snowy!

Here are a few photos kindly uploaded to the Facebook page by John Badrick who’s parents live out in Atyrau, Kazakstan.

Its getting colder here in the South West of England and hopefully snow on the way. But nothing compared to where my parents live- day time temps struggling at -17 to -20 in Kazakhstan North East side of the Caspian sea- Dad walks to work over the frozen Ural river every morning. It gets cold here but this year they have had unusual amounts of snow.
