- Welcome back to the Far East, and it meets us with wonderful weather! So, I came to Vladivostok, just wanted to explore the city. I was going to film some casual vlog here but got caught in a blizzard! Of course I used this opportunity to make a video about it, and I hope you appreciate my sacrifice and push the like button :D Anyway, this story taught me to pay more attention to the weather forecast :) Winter has begun, it's only going to get funnier!

About myself
Hi! My name is Natasha, I live in the Far East of Russia in the city of Khabarovsk, but originally I'm from a small town Spassk-Dalny in Primorsky Krai. Currently I'm studying Linguistics in the university. On this channel I make videos about life in Russia, our traditions and my traveling in Russian cities. Welcome, and let's explore Russia together! #yeahrussia
1:06 Many people are confused why the driver said “winter is coming” if there already was such a big storm 😄 The thing is that I filmed this on the November, 30. And seasons in Russia officially “begin” from the first day of the corresponding month. So, December 1 is always “the beginning” of winter, even if there’s no snow that day. And winter “ends” on the 28 (or 29) of February, and spring begins. (Even tho the snow still lays for 2 months). It’s fascinating how many people pointed it out and how we have different timing for defining seasons. What about your country? Is it like in Russia, winter starts strictly on the Dec 1, or it depends on the weather conditions?
At first I did not see there was a driver, and then I realized he was sitting on the right side :-)
@@jeroen1158 that’s another popular comment 😄 there’re many Japanese right-handed cars in the Far East
I guessed this right away as most youtubers take few days to edit and upload. :) Some don't consider the work that goes in to content creation I guess and think its instant. I never even seen snow in my life, let alone a storm like that!!
He means it'll probably get worse.
Afair, there is an old religious holiday in mid October - the Veil of Holy Mary - Покров. And it was expected to get first snow soon after (at least in Central Russia), as if the Lady covers the land with her veil.
In Germany the seasons are connected to the Solstices.
This way the 20th of December is still legally autumn, and the 20th of March - winter 😅
Although it's 10,000 km away from Vladivostok, that shot of digging the packed snow out of your boots instantly transported me to winter in Nova Scotia.
It's universal 😄
I'm from Nova Scotia originally and I feel you. When I was a kid I'd have to get up extra early before school to help shovel the mountain of snow that covered the car every morning. I don't miss it 😅
Yes, when you need to wear gators, you know you live in extreme conditions.
@@daveide6396 I see 12 inches of snow and 100 mph wind warnings for Hawaii!! Mountain Summits, I think.
@@daveide6396 It got down to 56 degrees F late last Saturday night in Honolulu.
The comment section is almost as much fun to read as the video is to watch, you have captured a world wide audience that loves the simple honest way you record and share your life...Bless you young lady.
I was thinking the same 😊. Just replayed the video while reading the comment section. ✌from sunny Florida 🌞
That and her close to perfect facial features.
@@abstractfactory8068
I was about to say - it's because she is attractive and has lots of Male subs.
it has nothing to do with this - "you have captured a world wide audience that loves the simple honest way you record and share your life"
Literally 1000's of TH-cam channels of people doing the exact same thing and they hardly have any subs.
@@jesusisunstoppable4438 thanks to tell the truth haha I love to read these guys on the comments simping for her, it’s my guilty pleasure lol
Yes, it really is that simple. Some people have an innate charm (Nat) and some others don't (me!). She has a way about her for sure.
It sure happens here in North Iceland :) We just stay home during that time. I usually drink tea, read books and admire the powers of nature from the window, it's so cozy!
My dad grew up in Canada, and he always told me the reason he eventually moved to California is because of the snow. He said it's different when you just get to visit the snow for fun vs. when you have to live in it every day.
I never understood until I spent a December in Massachusetts dog sitting for a friend, and there were 3 blizzards in the span of a month! It quickly went from a novelty to a nuisance, then became dangerous when we ran out of heating gas for the furnace (apparently this is a thing?!) and the house suddenly turned into an ice cave overnite.
Bad weather is no joke, and it was a humbling reminder that nature is always in charge at the end of the day.
Thanks for sharing another great video!
My parents moved to California in 1965 from Iowa because they were tired of the long winters and constantly shoveling snow.
@@jamesstarvoice9686 I just retire in April after 55 years in Ca, moved to Thailand where living is very affordable.
@@jamesstarvoice9686 California born and raised. Spent years mountaineering so I've camped in the snow but never lived in it. We are moving next year to North Idaho in a small rural community and things is gonna change. Time to dust off the climbing boots.
Who leaves you in a house without heating? These people are insane!
not to mention normal taken for granted office jobs -> sudden winter and voila may not get to workplace at all if commute is long (cant walk, no bus or car can run in heavy snow and rough wind)... rain is not big deal compared to getting stuck in snow
11:31 made me laugh. I love how it seems normal to just lay in the snow as people walk past.
They’re just chilling 😅
@@NatashasAdventures Yeah, literally chilling! How cool is that!
@@HartmutWSager Very, very cool! ^.^
Wow, Canada and Russia really do have so much in common haha
....and Minnesota
....and North Dakota
Welcome home Alina!
There is no snow here where I live in south Texas. I can see how difficult it is to get around during a snow storm.Be safe friend.
Agree
I've been in snow storms like this in Canada. The snow looks like it's not floofy flakes but these horrid tiny little really sharp crystals. I can physically feel your pain. When it's very cold and sharp wind hurls those things in your face it feels like the skin is being taken off😵
Only us Canadians can really understand what you go through, but sometimes your weather even beats ours. Stay safe.
Ya right I grew up in Juneau Alaska and one winter I had to shovel the snow banks of the trail from back halfway to the boat launch in Amalag Harbor . Before I could shovel the trail because I couldn't throw the snow 20 ft over the snowbanks.
Come drive semis. 😉😂
I live in New Hampshire and formerly lived in Maine. This is what we call springtime weather.
@@stevelowery4753 use tnt and flamethrowers
As a Norwegian, this makes me feel right at home!😊
Winter here in a sunny southern Arizona USA small town is the best! If I want snow I can drive up north, look, come home, lay out, and watch the stars. I don't own a snow shovel.
Same here. Alberta Canada.
I'm in Florida, i would die. Be frozen to death and stood up like a zombie
Living in Minnesota, this is pretty much our outdoor scenery from December through March. Winter is beautiful and dreadful at the same time. I love snow (in small doses), but can do without the sub-zero temps and icy roads.
OOOh always wanted to visit your part of the world naively because of disneys mighty ducks movies hehe
I moved to Florida about 15 years ago, in part, to get away from snow. The weird thing is that I miss it. I don't miss the slippery roads and shoveling off the pavement, but I miss how quiet the woods get and how pretty the new fallen snow is.
It's like a different city now. Summer Vladivostok is what i remember haha
This hits different when you're watching this after returning home from a tropical sandstorm outside
🥲
Great video!
I live in Norway and can definitely relate! I love sitting inside looking out at snowstorms. It's so relaxing.
I grew up in Wisconsin in America. We had our share of snow storms. Most people learn when not to go out in storms, we also know how to dress. Today I live in Tokyo and I have such a terrible time during summer. Winters here are extremely mild. BTW, my daughter is like me. Her room is like a refrigerator during summer. (Not a joke). She hopes to live in Scandinavia in the future. She's good at languages speaking English, Japanese, and Chinese. She would like add German, of course, a Scandinavian language.
Thank you Natasha for this not so common video. Not many peole would endure that kind of weather. Glad you made it home safely. Stay warm..
"you don't have to suffer the rudeness of the workers" 🤣
I like these authentic videos of you the most. The travel videos are good too, but these everyday pictures made your channel big. And distinguish it from other channels.
Yes. That's just what I was going to say. Loved this video.
Thank you! In fact such on-the-way videos often require less preparation but turn out more popular!
@@NatashasAdventures That is the recipe for your success, soulless high-gloss films can be shown by anyone, what is really behind things only a few can show. And that lies in the simplest of things. Like snow falling on your hat :)
I grew up in Western Pennsylvania in the U.S. I lived in a small town in the mountains and the winters could get brutal. I can recall times when we went to bed in the evening and it was dry. When we woke up in the morning we couldn't even find our car because it was buried under about 3 or 4 feet of snow and was just a lump in the snow. Winter exercise usually consisted of digging the car and the sidewalk in front of the house out of the snow a few times a week. When I was a Freshman in high school I can still remember walking to school with the temperature being -17 F (-26 C) with a wind chill factor of -40 F (-40 C). The winters usually lasted from mid-October to mid-April. Not much different from Russia, is it? This brought back a lot of (c)old memories. We got all our snow and cold from Canada. Gets pretty cold there as well. When I was in the Navy I spent 2 winters in the Caribbean. That ruined me for Winter. I moved to California. I think I should have gone to Florida.
It's easy to see what prevented Napoleon and Hitler from conquering Russia. Those winters can be nasty.
I lived in Pennsylvania - winters as near subtropics in Russia (Sochi). 70% of Russia is much colder in winter and warmer in summer.
You don't realise how dangerous a snow storm can be until your caught in one. It happened to me. I was 5 minuets walk from home and it was a real struggle even to see where i was going.
It isn't so bad winters in Scotland but you do get some wild weather because of the wind.
I was in Fairbanks.Alaska and that was a pretty good one. Glad you made it home and never forget that discretion IS the better part of valor.
Good phrase. Alaska, I bet you are used to such storms ❄️😄
@@daveide6396 serms about right to me😂
The bears are quite smart animals!
They just go to sleep all winter in a hole in the ground, instead of dealing with this kind of weather! 🐻🐻
Most miserable hour of my life, walking though the city in Omsk, -30c, high winds and ice coming down cutting into any exposed skin. Finally found a taxi though and all was well. Just a normal day for a Omsk citizen I'm sure but not for me 😁
I lived there for few years back in the 80s. I remember -53C. I would run till around -25C. Anything lower than that you can't breath. It literally hurts your airways. Brutal...but sure makes your stronger if you survive:)
@@00Grouse It's funny to listen. I live in Siberia, I invited a girl on a date for a walk. It was -39 degrees Celsius. And we walked for 3-4 hours. Of course, we were frozen, but it was fun)
Thank you for recognizing your taxi driver. Unsung hero's, no doubt.
When we lived in Vladivostok when I was a child we got fought in a heavy wind between tall building and it took me straight up in the air like a flag pole (my father was holding my hand) I was scared to go outside for a while after that
Oh no! 😔😱
@@NatashasAdventures Some building shapes and positions focus the wind, there was an incidence of this in London IIRC, they had to modify the airflow in the area - too many people were being blown over!!
Chicago USA has similar problems.
Cute friend love you 💓
I know a young man who was in the US Army, stationed in Alaska. He noticed the heavy winds. He wondered if he could fly...
So, soldier Jay tied a tarp to his ankles and wrists, and slipped out of his barracks during a very intense wind storm. Jay was carried into the air! He estimated his height at perhaps 20 feet!
When Jay came down he broke his wrist. After he saw the medic, the Sargent called Jay into his office. The Sargent , with a straight face, scolded Jay for wasting time, causing the Army unnecessary expense, not being fit for duty, etc. Jay apologized and said that he learned his lesson.
The Sargent then , straight-faced said , "Pfc. ______ --- fucking awesome!"
Greetings from Canada! I grew up up in a small mountain town in the 60's and 70's called Revelstoke British Columbia where a winter's snowfall would sometimes reach 8 or more metre's (but not a lot of wind). Then I moved to Vancouver in the 80's where it would rain pretty much everyday between November and February but you could sometimes be comfortable wearing a t-shirt in February. Then I moved to Winnipeg in the mid 90's and my first day day there was a January 4th and the temperature was -37C that day but that didn't t stop some cyclist's from riding! I'm still in Winnipeg because like most of the prairies it's mostly sunny and I suffer from SAD (also head to Mexico for a week or two winter vacation). We usually get couple of storms like in your video in a winter season. Often nasty wind's at the same time! I enjoyed your video very much! Stay safe and keep checking those weather forecasts!
You moved from Revelstoke to Winnipeg? Yikes. Is it true that Highway 1 over the mountain was built by Japanese internees or is that just a myth? Never done it in the winter, I'm not that crazy.
@@steven-k. Moved to Winnipeg because of work (from Vancouver). Was glad to get out as even back in the 90's housing prices were crazy. The Rogers Pass highway from Revelstoke to Golden was built in the 1960's and not by Japanese Internees. As I mentioned earlier I suffer from Seasonally Affected Disorder (SAD) and Vancouver at that time was cloudy or rainy most of the time in the winter and while the temperatures there are mild, in the winter it does get depressing with no sun. As far as Winnipeg is concerned it really is a wonderful city and the people here are very proud, self sufficient and independent minded. Neil Young and The Guess Who and many other great musicians also grew up here and the music scene was particularly impressive then and still is! When the rest of world goes underwater we'll still be here, surrounded by farms. And even the mosquitoes have mostly gone in the past few years as it's been drier. It's flat and great for bike riding and I haven't been caught by a mosquito yet!
Hi natasha,
In north west england we occasionally have snow , but mainly on the hills and mountains. Any snow at lower levels soon vanish.
Your winters are far more severe and snow no doubt will be around for weeks, if not months in your part of the world. Life goes on as normal over there all the same, so respect to you and all to .👍🏾
When I was young and growing up in Philadelphia, we had big snow storms all winter. But now, the winters are much warmer with little snow. I still like snow but not driving in it. Thank you.
In Seattle a storm like that is every 10 years. With even a few flakes chaos ensues. Russia does snowstorms properly. I remember landing at Shremetevo on an Aeroflot flight sideways on the nose wheel in a full out blizzard. Thank god the Russian pilots knew what they were doing. Trekking with luggage through the metro was a casual stroll compared to fighting through 4 ft drifts 300 meters from Partisanskaya station to the Gamma hotel. I remember 2 street dogs watching watching me from a sheltered doorway. Either waiting to finish me off when I fell dead from exhaustion or just pitying the human unable to get out of the weather. It was comical.
Then there was the time in Minck I foolishly packed my heavy jacket in my luggage only to find it had been left in New Jersey. It was January, -20 and on a Sunday when when very little was open. I picked up a pair of gloves in the metro and a girl told me of a shop open down by a museum. It was a womans boutique and I walked out wearing a barely fitting womans coat I paid $150 for but saved my life.
I also remember one of the most beautiful sights I have ever seen. St Basils Cathedral covered in fresh snow. I'll never forget that.
👍
I'm from the Midwest US, looks like home! The weather provides us with lots of excitement here, which is good because many other aspects of living here are dull. I've learned to like the winter a lot more since I started going for a run every day regardless of weather a few years ago. The challenge of going running in a foot of snow or in -20 C (-4 F) can be exhilarating
So cool 💪☺️
So true, greetings from the Chicago area, which we call Chiberia on the bad winter days.
I have a lot of interest on Vladivostak...thanks for uploading this video...
Iowa here, the snow is the most exciting part of this state.
This reminds me of that scene in Kurosawa's movie Dersu Uzala, where Dersu and Arsenyev frantically make shelter before a snowstorm.
once in Canada, a snowstorm came up quickly. my house was at the bottom of the hill. From the top i started walking down the hill, then the snow was so thick i could not see my hand. i suddenly started walking up a very steep hill i couldn't see, then I fell over the top and rolled down a snow drift to an empty clear spot and luckily saw my house. it was -40.
Omg you are lucky to be alive. I live in Iowa and that happens to people but they die.
Lucky guy!
Do you realize how blessed you were ? You could have been buried under the snow with it so deep !
@@laurakerr3450 it was quit the snow hill near the house on the road. later as the storm started to slow a little some snowmobilers tried to go up the hill on snowmobiles and couldn't.
I had a similar experience in a USA northern state near Lake Erie. My fingers and toes got so cold, that for years later in very cold weather the tips of my digits tingled, and seemed to hurt more than I thought they should. I finally moved south-- very little snow and 20 F at night is considered to be very cold!
Yes as a Canuck living near Toronto Ontario I can relate to the storm in Vladivistok , although the winters have beecome increasingly less severe over time. It was brave you to film during the cold and blowing snow to show us the real face of Russia-really appreciate it.
Toronto isn't bad at all by Canadian standards. It does get quite windy downtown at times which is bad. I live in Northern Ontario where we get many cold and snowy days.
@@njam101 Try Saskatoon.
@@fengkorberfer Timmins ON is colder than Saskatoon but definitely not as windy.
@@njam101 it was -39 today. Prairies are colder my man.
@@fengkorberfer Not overall.
Ahhh the howling wind, the snow-filled boots☃️ what a scary adventure you had this time! Glad you made it through alright! Always love your vlogs, stay warm ☕
Your videos give me so much joy. You are such a bright woman and describe the world so cool.
Большой спасибо. Thank you for sharing your life with all of us. Watching you on the other side of the world makes me feel connected to all of humanity
My Canadian soul: "That looks fun. We've not had a good storm yet this year."
Yes, thats what i thought to. This seams fun. Bring it on.
Wasn't there a big storm with flooding in BC several weeks ago?
yep my Colorado self thought the same... time to break out the winter gloves (as opposed to the fall gloves and the spring gloves, which are a little thinner and more waterproof)
Wow, that was quite an adventure! I live in Australia in a sub-tropical region. I remember the very first time I saw snow we were on a bus trip in NZ and there were snow drifts lying on the side of the road. We asked the driver if he could stop and let us get out to have a closer look. My impression was it looked and felt just like the inside of the freezer compartment of our fridge.
Southern WA is mighty nice from a Texan point of view 🤠
Just FYI a blizzard at the top of the supertrail in thredbo is as bad or worse than that
Hi, I just recently discovered your youtube channel and watching some of your videos. I think you are one of the most authentic realest youtuber I've ever watched. You're very open hearted and have a nice vibe. 🙏🙏
This is a fantastic video, just like being there with you but not in the cold, I love how you capture small details that others would ignore, and how you share your feelings so honestly. Thank you for your efforts and stay warm.
Yeah. Stay out of the worst weather. Especially the strong winds.
I'm so glad that she was able to find shelter when she needed it.
The slow-motion bit was amazingly artistic. Hope you can do more of that kind of thing (without risking your life, of course). :)
came to say this. so true
Loved the video Natasha and sometimes in Scotland our weather gets bad but thankfully not for awhile now Hope all was good with your doctor and health is good Thankyou so much for sharing with us
The tune "Vladivostok " by the Canadian rock band Prism comes to mind. ❄🇨🇦❄
My heart sank when I read the caption "Please send help" now that I see that you are okay I'm feeling much better.
Next time please be more careful and don't forget that we love you and we don't want anything bad to happen to you.
From London UK with love 🇬🇧 ❤
"pls send help" is like a meme phrase and I thought it'd be suitable for the thumbnail. Thanks! 😊💕
@@NatashasAdventures I got it, but I am glad you're okay. Weather like that can be very dangerous if caught off guard. Please carry water and essentials. I love, repeat love your videos and your thoughts on stuff. Be safe!
What a dramatic storm! I live in Pretoria, South Africa, where we get light snow maybe once in 10 years. When it does snow everybody are out on the streets to view it with awe and wonder!
I live in Iowa, US and we get many feet of snow and it is beautiful the first snow and then scary.
Yes bru, same thing in Cornwall lol
@@Denise-Ann I went to college in N. Dakota, and grew up in Ohio. I learned to keep a sleeping bag and log chain in the trunk. One should never go anywhere without a coat and hat. A shovel in the trunk was also a necessity.
@@jamesbinns8528 I just learned from you and put those things in my car.
Amazing! Thank you for sharing!
Natasha you make the most wonderful videos !! I enjoy watching them over and over.
6:17 Some of the best moments in video or photos are unplanned 🙂 11:33 The kids in the deep snow 😆 must be soooo comfortable!
Natasha, really interesting video. Love the slow motion of u in the snow, really cool! Another "Day in the Life" video executed so well. It was great to see all the people enjoying all that snow, especially the kids. U are most fortunate. Thanks.
In Australia and despite what you may think we do get snow but usually from about late April /early May until some years the snow will last until the end of September. In the southern Alps where I live in Canberra which at Between 680/720 mtr or around 2000 ft, it can get down to temperatures in a cold winter of minus 11 degrees. But with no snow or rarely, but like Vladivostok your home this home for me. but I don't think anyone ever gets used to the cold. xx :)
This reminds me of a winter I was in Vladivostok in the late 90s. That winter started with a heavy snowstorm on November 1st, but at least I don't remember it being as windy as this one. I'm sure some of that snow was still on the ground in March. Later on that winter there was another storm one evening as I and my friends were coming down from Molodyozhnaya to the city center. We had to leave our bus near Nekrasovskaya and walk the rest of the way in. No cars going in to the center were able to move at all, but it was a surprisingly easy walk. Luckily the train was still running later so getting home wasn't a problem.
I was like "This is one determined girl trying to go to the mall in such horrible blizzard!" Glad you came to your senses. BTW, the thumbnail pickture looks really artsy and dreamy. 👍
Grew up in the Snowbelt of Central Ontario, Canada from 1953-1974 Then moved to North Shore of Lake Ontario, where I call it the Banana Belt, because we don't get a lot of snow. I was like, is she crazy or brave :D Never occurred to me that she might not know what danger she was in. I'm just glad she decided to head home. Expensive, but she is alive.
I'm glad you made it home safely. 🤗some times people don't realize how deadly weather can be
I live in rual america. 1 time I got stuck in the snow 1 mile away from home but it was such a blizzard so i walked 1/4 mile to the nearest farm house where I slept on their couch until morning 🌄 better safe than sorry. That night would've been deadly to try and walk 1 mile across the open prairie.
Great footage and editing Natasha, Thank you.
I've found myself stuck in winter storms, never underestimate hot thermos flasks of food or drink.
It always feels like im going on an adventure withoutnleaving my house when watching your channel.
Wish you good health and success!
What an amazing, smart and brave young woman you are, loved every second of this vlog. You're at best when alone, working on your own, solving problems as they come. It's very hard to create a great footage in a storm, but you managed to find perfect angles, light and even sound, while protecting your camera from elements and kept your cool.
Feel stupid talking about arts after an experience like that, but that's how life of a blogger actually is. And you wrapped it up with a picture of a beautiful evening the next day, completing a movie style adventure experience, riding alone into the sunset.
Great stuff, think i'll watch it again, really enjoying the depth, mood and atmosphere you can bring to light.
Thank you 😊
"Cold frost and sunshine: Day of Wonder!" That phrase just made me smile so wide. Thank you, Natasha!
It's translation of a popular line from Alexander Pushkin poem "Зимнее утро" (Winter Morning).
Thank you for explaining this.
Another terrific video! This time, a remake of "Dr. Zhivago".
You went to school at the University of Minnesota, so you know what Minnesotans would call that storm: a nice Spring day.
The year I lived there the first snow was on October 15 and the last was on April 15.
a nice spring day 😂
Yikes, thank you for bringing us your videos such lovely Natasha. That was brutal. I’m glad your safe. I live in south Texas 🇺🇸 and we do not get snow in the area I live in however we have gotten snow about 3 times now in the last 21 years but this year in February we had a snow storm that knocked out the Texas power grid and we had below freezing temperatures for about 32 straight hours and it caused a lot of problems. They called the it the 100 year storm because it happens once every hundred years. Love your videos and you are brave to go out in such weather. Much ❤️ from Texas.
I love the snow ❄️ it makes everything look beautiful. In the UK we don’t get such snowstorms like this one. That was totally amazing to watch. Thank you for sharing 😘
Cold weather keeps you conscious. and aware of how fragile life is.I am in the upper north island of New Zealand.It is autumn now - my favorite time of year - not too hot and not too cold.I am blessed in that respect.Thanks for educating us about life in Vladivostok.It is good to stay informed about the struggles faced by people in other parts of the world.
Hi Natasha, great videos showing Actual Russian life , dispelling all the myths. We are in Yorkshire North England in one of the highest villages in England on the Pennine mountain range so we see very deep snow ⛄️ once they was snow drifts 12 feet tall it feels so good to go to your home when your cold and tired
Wow, what an experience! So relieved that you finally decided to go home instead of to the mall!
We get such major snow storms here in Utah, USA, once or twice a year, it seems like.
I like how the people, even the children, just take all of the snow and wind in stride and proceed with life as normal! In some parts of the USA, cities basically shut down for days and schools close when there is much less snow than this. The slow-motion was very cool!
It's nice to see you back in the Far East. There are already so many videos of Moscow but it was nice to see your perspective of the place too.
Living in Susa Valley, a valley surrounded by the Alps, situated in the north west of Italy and very close to the French border,, I must affirm that I'm quite used to heavy snow fall in the winter time, even if during the last few years, due to the global warming, snowfall decreased a lot. I love snow as, despite the numerous discomforts, it brings a lot of joy and a peaceful atmosphere. The storm which hit Vladivostock was truly strong and in this weather you have been able to face any difficulty in making this awesome video. Thank you
"Golden Eye" nostalgia, anyone? The stairway corridor with the lower green trim looks just like 'the Facility' map, a Russian military lab.
We just get the storms without the snow in Ireland. Thank you for the upload. It's great to see the places tourism doesn't show.
Absolutely EPIC, and that edition skills amazing!
You looked absolutely gorgeous during the mystical snowstorm.😊 that's all I have to say about snow! ⛄
The simps never cease to amaze.
She reminds me of some villain who loves to give turkish delight on some poor bastard sweet tooth kid.
That's what i was thinking, she lives in such corner of globe, that she being so calm and composed all the time, yet no boy to make her their gf! What an irony looking from here...
I agree I think she is very attractive…..smart and cute !!!
@@DarrenRockwell the username literally says diane
Usually we have little snow here in Belgium. Fewer and fewer actually. Though, with my old age, I remember certain winters with an exceptional amount of snow, during 1 week or 2. I mean more than 50 cm... Also, in the highest part and the coldest part of the country, on the German border, near every winter it's possible to practice cross-country ski.
Global warming is real.
For example, half of the Norway in northern part of it was covered with ice
just 1000 years ago, now people live everywhere and see mild summers.
Most people think Iran is a desert barren country but I remember just 20 years ago
we had snow up to two - three meters where I live, but nowadays it just comes and melts.
Imagine with this speed of climate changing what will happen in just another 20 years.
It looks beautiful when its not snowing 🌨 Keep safe Natasha!❤️
You have a big heart… thanks for the view of everyday Ruß. 🙂
Natasha, I don't know if you realize what an incredible person you are. Very cute and photogenic. Smart. Thoughtful. Personable. Charismatic. I don't see how you can fail to have a brilliant career as time unfolds, either in Russia or in another country where they might be more opportunity. You got caught in a snowstorm and turned it into a great little video, without losing your cool (pun intended). Honestly, not everybody can pull off something like that. Thanks for another great international video experience....
thank you 😊😊
true. to be honest it would be a pity to see her increasing wealth to interfere with the content and the particular back-taste of her videos. The abercrombie hoodie was clearly in clear contrast with the surrounding environment.
@ctafrance...you forgot the words "tough/strong" when you described Natasha.
I am happy that you learned your lesson without learning the hard way. You went home and made the right choice. I am happy that you will be careful from now on and listen to alerts. It might have been scary and miserable for a day, but the pictures afterwards were very beautiful and seeing people walk and play the next day really brings the Christmas spirit. You look so pretty in the snow and your accidental slow motion was gorgeous.
Glad to see you are alright! 👍
Last February we had a snow storm here in the Netherlands, the real feel was like -20 Celcius 🥶(actual was -8 C). Those kind snow storms are very very rare here. A weather alarm as given out as well here a day before the storm hit!❄🌨
Thank You Emperor For Sharing This Beautiful Video Vlog
Back in February we had a very unusual situation here in Austin, Texas. We had a winter storm that dumped a large amount of snow with temperatures below freezing for a week. We lost water and electricity and had to use melted snow to flush toilets. This was like a once in a century type of storm for us. Normally the winters here are mild. But it totally exposed the weaknesses in our city power grid and infrastructure. Also, there was extreme shortages of water and food as shops and stores could not be restocked fast enough to meet the demands. But we muddled through, fired up the BBQ grills to cook and melt snow. Five of us pulled our grills out front and cooked and melted snow for the other neighbors we also made sure our elderly and parent(s) with little ones were okay too.
Countries with a lot of snow laugh at how little it takes to bring other countries to a standstill. But if you almost never get snow, it makes no sense to have millions tied up in snowploughs and salt. And building regs about insulation and water pipe depths are insufficient for harsh winters.
Here in Ireland in 2010, we had a month of temperatures 15-20 below freezing. By the end of the month, people had learned to cope a lot better than when it first hit. You adapt to whatever you’re used to I suppose.
@@Dreyno You are absolutely right. They laugh at us struggling with snow and freezing temperatures, but we laugh when it gets extremely hot in their neck of the woods. We are set up to handle 38C plus weather not extended below freezing and ice and snow.
@@budapestmole And we in Ireland are set up for neither. Wind and rain mostly. And even then sh1t blows over and floods 😄
@@Dreyno I love Ireland, great people, beautiful country and good times.
@@budapestmole We have our a55hats as well. We hide them in our parliament where no tourist would ever think of looking for them.
While West Texas seldom has winter storms, when it does they look something like that. A couple of the cuts had a post-apocalyptic feel to them. Thanks for sharing. Best of luck for staying warm and safe.
That's an insane amount of snow! Glad you survived.
That snowstorm is amazing 🤩
When I first came to Houston in 1973, people were still excited about the snow they had the year before. It was so unusual to have 2 cm. of snow. People went crazy. They would scrape an area of several square meters to get enough snow to make a small snowman. Then they would put the snowman on the top of their car and drive up and down the street honking their horn.
Usually, the exciting weather in Houston is a hurricane or maybe a tornado. When the sky turns a weird shade of green and there is a sound like a big freight train nearby, you are in big trouble because it is a tornado.
Vladivostok in winter is not what I expected. I expected people to be walking around with snowshoes or maybe skis.
In Houston as little kids we scarped up snow and put the little snowmen on the car to keep them cold.
The driving around and honking - how hilarious!
The view from your apartment window is beautiful. Best to enjoy it from inside with a hot cup of tea on days and nights like that. I’m right across the ocean from you in northern Japan and we get the same harsh weather. I was once stuck in my car for 8 hours in a blinding blizzard. It was a bit scary but in the end I actually think I enjoyed it. Vladivostok is a place I’d like to visit, in the summer!
I really like your videos Natasha. I feel as though I am there too. Thank you for posting!
I was just admiring how clean and nice the bus looked...
Yeah Natasha, spasibo for recording the beautiful, fun-filled, frightening onset of winter in Vladivostok. Good that you got home safe and sound. Here at the other end of Eurasia in Finland’s former capital I just got out of the goryachaya banya and am chilling out, enjoying the moment. It’s about minus 10 degrees C outside, but the archipelago of 30 000 islands mostly shields us from such blizzards. Reminds me of the time back in the 1980s when our Aeroflot flight scheduled for a stop-over in Moscow detoured back to Leningrad to wait out the blizzard in Moscow. At around 2 am at the Leningrad airport cafeteria we were treated to free kartoshki salad, sausages, and piwo. That night’s big highlight was when the waiter masterfully flipped open each beer bottle with the ring finger of his hand. Zdorov'ye!
Today was 28C on a farm near Stellenbosch, South Africa, where I live. The minimum temperature never gets below 1C here except in the mountains, which might get snow, a few times in winter. We do have very strong winds both in summer and especially in winter when we get our rain. I admire your ability to live in such a cold place. The climate here is good for producing wine and wheat.
I live in the south of Brazil, basically the same weather...
A South African watching these videos too! I am from Cape Town! Я учусь говорить по-русски. Вы говоришь по русски?
@@jippee1 Hi there fellow Cape Townian! It's so nice to see other South Africans enjoying Natasha's videos as well. I'm learning Russian too, mostly to read and listen, not so much to speak and write it though because I find the grammar rules to be quite overwhelming and difficult
I'm a lifelong New Englander, NH born & raised. Only place I've seen similar weather was when I was stationed in W Germany in the Armored Cav pulling Border Duty. I drove to work in a snowstorm last year here in Blizzard/Whiteout conditions. I literally couldn't see 100ft in front of me 1/2 way to work on I-95 (Interstate Highway) at night for 3rd shift. I drive a 2016 RAM 1500 Crew Cab 4x4 w/a HEMI and I'd just bought brand new Goodyear All Terrain tires that Fall. It was kind of fun really. I've driven to work in snowstorms a number of times. I always check the weather. I grew up with the old saying here in New Hampshire, "If you don't like the weather, wait a minute." I used to go cruising in snowstorms in my first car as a teenager, listening to the "Wolfman Jack Oldies Party" on the original AM radio in a 66' Dodge Coronet 4dr. Loved it.😄
Again thank you for sharing your life in your home country😊❤️.
Your face was priceless getting off of that bus. :) Keep up the good work, enjoying walking along with you and getting to know you in this type of media communication. Cheers!
😂
Hello Russian girl , I was worried about you in that snow storm ! Glad you made it home safe ! I hope your apartment was worm ! I hope you got a good worm meal and went to bed ! I live in Florida , but I have lived in Anchorage , Alaska where the snow can get very bad ! Take good care of yourself and stay well ! God protect you and guide you !
Can’t beat those “worm” meals! lol 😹 But we love our Russian girl, don’t we..
@@tallowturq Russian people are nice , the folks I have seen so far ! God made us all , I wish everyone every where could get along and help each other and care not hate ! Take a virtual hug !
@@tallowturq She seams like a very nice down to earth young lady ! Wish she would wear a wormer outfit in that cold weather !
Mittens are best in cold weather.
What kind of worm?
Some beautiful photography. I love where you cut the sound for just an instant in the snow storm. You are a true explorer in the moment.
So glad your ride came! Thank you Mr. Taxi!!!
I remember in Thunder Bay, Ontario, Canada, which is on the west side of Lake Superior, when I was doing my last year university there, it was -45°, with a wind chill of -70°C. It was very cold for me because I grew up on the west coast of Canada, where it rarely snowed, it rained a lot, so hardly got below 0°C. It was my first time experiencing such cold and snow about 1.5m deep. My window of the place I rented as a student had 2 cm thick of ice on it; you could not see clearly out the window.
-45C = -49F! The coldest I've been in was backpacking in upstate New York in the Catskill mountains, -15 F witha 45MPH wind. That was scary cold. The skin would freeze right away.
watch the Transformations documentary. 1999 year
@@leaonardland9001 HELP!!
This was a really great video! I love seeing the daily life in Russia.
I loved your channel ! Thanks for sharing your work.
Very cool! Thanks for sharing!
Reminds me of my law school years and early days of practicing in Boston. I've actually began to miss it, having been away for a few years now. My last year there was particularly bad. We had a series of storms together that totaled about 8 feet of snow in a couple of weeks time. We literally ran out of places to put it and started really fearing another storm would finally bury us at home for good until the Spring. ALL we did was shovel for days to try to stay ahead of it. Now I'm in Hawaii. So I use the surf board for exercise and not the snow shovel. It's supposed in be 85 degrees here in a couple of days.
