What's the weather like today?
People using italki.com services live in different countries, in different hemispheres. Some of them are enjoying sunny and warm weather, others are suffering from wind and cold. As for me, I live in the Urals, Russia. The climate is continental here. It means our short summers are rather hot but long winters are very cold.
The calendar says that winter should start on the 1st of December, but in fact it began a month ago when it got suddenly cold and it was snowing nights and days. The temperatures reached -25 C in Yekaterinburg and as the strong north wind was blowing it seemed that it was much colder. Now the weather is milder, it's only -8 C, the wind is gentle. Kids are taking advantage of the warm weather, they go for walks, go skiing, play snowballs, make snowmen.
And what about you? What's the weather like in your countries? Write about it in the comments below.
And dear native speakers, could you check my mistakes?

Je cherche des synonymes littéraires, familiers, argotiques et vieillis (utilisés, disons, au 17-19 siècles, mais pas au Moyen Age) de l'adjectif "excellent".
Je vous serais bien reconnaissante si vous m'aidiez.C'est aux mots argotiques et vieillis que je m'intéresse le plus.

Maslenitsa
A popular Russian folk festival called Maslenitsa (this word has something to do with butter) is coming to its end. Russian Maslenitsa is very similar to French Mardi Gras or Anglo-Saxon Shrovetide. People are seeing off winter and meeting spring. The difference is in the festival length. In Russia it lasts the whole week, from Monday to Sunday after which Lent fasting begins to commemorate the passions of Christ and so many kinds of food become prohibited. So people try to eat various delicious things on the Maslenitsa week. One of the traditional meals are pancakes or bliny in Russian. It's a liquid mass of milk, flour, eggs with a little sugar and salt and a tiny bit of sodium fried in oil on a pan. Instead of milk you can add kefir (a drink similar to yoghurt). If you put kefir and more flour you can get oladyi with are thicker than bliny. Bliny and oladyi are eaten with confiture, sour cream, condensed milk and sometimes with caviar.
Winter amusements such as the construction of a snow town, its siege and capture, snowball fights, skating, snow sliding and toboganning are also associated with this holiday. The culmination is burning Maslenitsa's scarecrow since Maslenitsa is the personification of winter which people have been very tired of by now. In fact Maslenitsa also called Marena was an old pagan deity of winter, cold and death. She was worshipped and dreaded at the same time by the Slav tribes before the introduction of Christianity. And even now, more than a thousand years latershe is not forgotten completely.
Asking pardon, remembering dead relatives and going to a banya (Russian sauna) are the customs also connected with Maslenitsa.

De la pluie et du beau temps...
Le mois de février touche à sa fin. Cet hiver il gèle fort. On dit que les Ouraliens sont habitués aux froids et n'en ont pas peur. Mais en fait comme tous les autres gens nous aimons le beau temps, le soleil, la verdure et nous sommes déjà fatigués de ce paysage blanc, de ce vent du nord, de congères d'un mètre et plus, et de neige qui est particulièrement abondante cette année. Encore un mois et le printemps va commencer... Mais le printemps ne me réjouit pas beaucoup parce que ces tas de neige sale fondront, il y aura de la boue partout, les rivières déborderont (heureusement je n'habite pas la campagne), et on regrettera maintes fois que l'hiver soit fini...

Ma ville natale - Ekaterinbourg
J'habite l'Oural, la ville d'Ekaterinbourg. C'est l'une des plus grandes villes de Russie. Seulement Moscou, Saint-Pétersbourg et Novossibirsk sont plus peuplées. Autrefois Ekaterinbourg portait le nom de Sverdlovsk en l'honneur du révolutionnaire Iakov Sverdlov. En 1991 la ville a retrouvé son nom historique.

My home city is Yekaterinburg
My home city is Yekaterinburg, it is situated in the Urals. Its population is about one million four hundred thousand people. It is quite a big city. The Iset river crosses the city. The climate is continental: summers are hot and short, winters are rather cold and last long.
The city was founded in 1723 under Peter the Great and named after his wife empress Catherine I (Ekaterina), namesake of Saint Catherine of Alexandria. In 1924 its name was changed and the city became Svedlovsk (in honour of the revolutionary Yakov Sverdlov) and only in 1991 it got back its initial name.
The city is sadly famous for being the place of the execution of our last tsar - Nicholas II - and his family. On the site of the crime there is now the Temple on the Blood.
