Last week I’ve published a post telling about the first snow in Nikolaev Ukraine this year. When writing that post I was thinking the snow would melt quickly (because it happened so for 2 or three winters in a row) but I was wrong. Not only the snow didn’t melt but it was falling and falling. As a result Nikolaev Ukraine is now covered with snow. The cars and buses move so slowly that it’s much faster to go on foot. A road to Odessa and a road to Kherson have been closed for a few days now.

People who live in Nikolaev Ukraine have missed the winter and now you can see many of them sledding or just walking and sticking in the snow. Everything would be find if there was someone to clean the roads and pavements from the snow but till then, please take a look at the pictures I’ve taken in the streets of Nikolaev Ukraine.

St Nicholas Day that is celebrated in Nikolaev Ukraine on December 19th is a great way to start the holiday season. And that’s not the secret that for some people roses make the holiday.

When you want to send roses to Nikolaev Ukraine, start at Flowers2Nikolaev.com to take advantage of special prices

As you can see the prices offered by Flowers2Nikolaev.com are low, but the quality of long stem roses is certainly not!

Keep in mind in case you want to order roses at special prices you should send an email to flowers2nikolaev@gmail.com and specify the color and the quantity of roses you’d like to send to Nikolaev Ukraine. Basically a short email can save you a lot of money!

However, a St Nicholas Day Promo will expire on December 20, 2009. So, a few days left for you to make the best of this holiday promotion!

Hurray!!! Today, we who live in Nikolaev have seen the first show! It was falling at night and throughout the day and it’ll melt shortly but it definitely marks the beginning of winter in Nikolaev Ukraine!

We are so happy to see the snow because it doesn’t happen often in Nikolaev. A few years ago we had really snowy winters and everyone could have fun and play snowballs, go ice-skating at the river or make snowmen. However, the last three or four winters have been quite warm and therefore were reminding a never-ending autumn. The average temperature has been between 0ºC and +10ºC (between +32ºF and +50ºF) and soon we’ll see what this winter holds for Nikolaev Ukraine.

The first snow has brought a new atmosphere and now it feels like a true winter!

Hopefully this winter there will be a lot of snowy days in Nikolaev Ukraine!
