In Russia frozenground means "Good Weather". Russian "pavement" is called "mud" in the West. That is a primitive variation of the "Ice Highways" of Canada and Alaska.
It's good to know you're reading the blog still! I got one daughter in Iceland right now, believe it or not. Darn close to Greenland, and the Faroes. Might have to visit. ;-)

I've read your blog, daily, for all this time.

Russians PREFER bad weather.

I agree with all of the above. In Russia, it's just another day in the neighborhood.
