Wunderground is showing + 6 widely in Moscow. My World Weather Guide gives the record Dec max as +5 so today may well be record breaking. Temperatures even above freezing well to the NE of Moscow. Napoleon clearly picked the wrong winter.

As an antidote to that digraceful mildness you could try this:

These conditions have been essentially unchanged for about 8 days. The fog is largely the creation of the city itself. Dec-Feb there is no other weather there.
The METAR for Moscow Sheremet'ye shows a temp of -1° currently with snow showers, but still several degrees above normal.

That got me looking as the 'normal' conditions for Jakutsk.

The amount of cloud cover, even in summer, is pretty depressing. The median cloud cover is 96% and does not vary substantially over the course of the year, there's a graph to rub it in.

Penzance - where it's currently dull, mild, drizzly. Only 8 days since the summer have failed to reach 8C, a notable figure even for Penzance.

"failed to reach 8C" should read "failed to reach 10C".

Certainly unusually mild, but can the record December max really be 5C?
I'm sure that I can remember seeing higher maxes in winter than that,
though obviously very rarely. Admittedly I can't be sure which winter
month they were in, but you'd expect January and February if anything to
be colder.
