That's one clear sky you have there.

Denver gets its fair share of great sunrises and sunsets. All of the fires in Washington and California have hazed up our horizon adding some bright orange and reds.

Good for you. Siberia offers no such beauty these days.

Ugh. Is it that time of year already?

This year, it's early. The Sun shone yesterday and it does this morning, but it's still pretty cold, and it may not return for what Russians call "babye leto" (sparingly translatable as "maiden's summer", when you get some more sunny warm days in the middle of the autumn until it all settles to cold again.

I've noticed that weirdly, tempratures are around the same if you compare Moscow and Montreal but the seasons are 1-2 months in advance in Russia. This yeah, the weather was still crappy until june but september had been super hot so far. Didn't go below 20 even. It's nice now but kind of crappy when it snows in mid-April while you see european friends enjoying the sun.

Or, it's you enjoying the Sun when your European friends expect rains unstoppable.
