Wow thats unreal, do you ever get used to such cold, like Russians? Or is it only a certain level of coldness that you can tolerate before misery sets in? In Ireland recently we had a cold snap of -15 and it nearly finished us because we as a nation just weren't used to such a climate!

For people above 50 years old "it is not a real winter". Especially my grandpa is used to say "In my youth, there were real winters!", and he usually talk how Germans used them, and treated them during WWII.
But to the subject, as for me it is way too high! I really like warm, and for my any minus degree is just awful.

Never heard about, and I don't think so.

This is the first time, when I hear this name. In my language they are called a little different ;) (miniature Szpic [Shpic]). Besides, they weren't originally from Pomerania (even on the German side), but from Scandinavia, so it is a surprise for me.
