Reply to comment by vapescaped in The EU is looking at seizing $330 billion in frozen Russian assets and investing them — with any profits going to Ukraine by KeenlyFirst

The winters barely bring snow any more. I'd be more worried about not having air conditioning in summer.

Tell that to Northern Europe. With that being said, invest the money oligarchs stole from the Russian people, use the profits to support Ukraine, and help the Russian people rebuild their country when they take it back from the criminals running it now.

The problem being... while of fucking course we should help them rebuild because as of now its a clusterfuck with nuclear capabilities. But Ukraine is priority.

Russia has historically always well, shit the bed.

What was it? "Russia's history can be described in five words: " And then it got worse."

Northern European here. We have insulation and fire wood. Keep the weapons flowing to Ukraine.

Northern Europe did pretty well before electricity and gas. I’m sure they will be fine.

Doesn't get freezing cold how it used to, either. Skating on the canals to get places used to be so common it was a Dutch stereotype, now it's relatively rare.

With temperatures just around 0°C and slight wind, it's gets plenty cold. Doesn't matter if ice/snow is more rare than before, it's still cold

Edit: Celcius

It is nearly universal. There are 2 main reasons, fear of blowing germs around (I can kinda sorta understand this one) and the other one is that a big jump in temperature (my sister in law claims it is a difference of 8 degrees C) somehow makes your immune system unable to function. I dunno about that last one, some german should chime in.
