@alexander_wolff:
Here's that anti-gay protest in Sochi tweeted out earlier. Note security in foreground, looking idly

Disgusting!
Wonder if we'll see this in the news?

The climate is classified as mid-tropical.
The events that need snow are held at venues built in the Caucasus mountains.

If there is any snow IN Sochi, it's manmade.
