Moscow) it's rarely warm enough to do anything outside except for a bit

At about 50 degrees latitude, considerably south of you, we are having frost
tonight. Again. :-(

Thanks to the Gulf Stream our island has cool summers and mild winters.
We rarely get frost or snow, only twice in the last five years have we
seen the ground "white over" with frost and only twice have we seen
significant (more than 0.5 inches) falls of snow.
We're hoping for good weather tomorrow (Saturday) as it's the Stronsay
Regatta.

A few degrees south of that and we also had frost warnings, although
it didn't get that cold. The newspaper said this spring ranks #7 as
the coldest spring. yipee. The 5th of June and our furnace is still
running. Disgusting.
To answer Cheryl's question, the wind is very rarely calm enough here
to be able to, although in town I have been able to occasionally do it
on my work breaks where the building blocks the wind. I find the sun
*too* bright to stitch in and rarely wear sunglasses.
