Moscow in the Deep Freeze: A Digital Nomad's Survival Guide

@Maya Stone2/9/2026blog

so i just got back from my first week in moscow and honestly? it's like living inside a freezer with a side of existential dread. the weather data says it's -19.54°c right now, feels like -26.54°c, and the humidity is 98%. i checked this morning and it's...there right now, hope you like that kind of thing. i mean, i brought my warmest coat, but my fingers still went numb typing this. the locals just shrug and say 'it's just weather' while sipping tea at 3am. if you get bored, st. petersburg is just a short drive away, but honestly? i'm not sure i'd survive that either.
