莫斯科的冬天不下雪？

For months, people in Moscow have been adjusting to an unfamiliar type of winter -- one with hardly any snow.

这几个月以来，莫斯科的人一直在调整适应一种崭新的冬天模式—几乎不下雪的冬天。

Typically buried in several feet each winter, Russia’s capital this year has remained mostly snow free as temperatures have barely dipped below zero.

通常情况下，莫斯科的冬天都会有几英尺厚的雪，今年因为气温基本上没有怎么降到零下，所以这座城市几乎没有看到雪。

Last December and this January were the hottest ever recorded in Moscow.

去年十二月和今年一月份是莫斯科有记录以来最热的。

Temperatures again soared in February, last week breaking records for warmth on five consecutive days, reaching 44 degrees Fahrenheit.

二月份气温持续升高，上周已经连续五天打破了以往纪录，达到了华氏44度。

In February, usually the coldest and snowiest month of the year, there is barely a patch of ice to be seen.

“I can hardly believe it,” said Natalia Kirilova, 72, walking with four other pensioners.

“我简直不敢相信，”72岁的娜塔莉娅·克瑞诺娃一边和其他四位退休老人一起走着，一边说道。

Scientists have linked the warm winter worldwide to an unusual weather pattern in the Arctic.

For some, the lack of snow has been depressing.

Instead of the clear, sparkling days that sub-zero temperatures can bring, residents have endured long weeks of dreary damp and clouds.

Others have missed winter sports like cross-country skiing and ice skating.

But she said she had missed real frost.
