Waiting for the deep freeze
This winter is shaping up to be the real deal – an authentic Baltic icebox. Although last year’s yuletide season was marked by warm weather and plenty of rain, this year St. Nick might just have to break out the old sleigh to get around town. What’s a true Latvian winter? We won’t bore you with yarns of snowdrifts as high as houses, but it’s dark and bitter cold with plenty of snow and belligerent icicles that hang from buildings like miniature swords of Damocles.Take advantage of the deep freeze and go ice skating in Riga or skiing and snowboarding at one of Latvia’s many resorts. The staff at Riga In Your Pocket wish you and yours a Merry Christmas and a Happy 2009!
