    My thermometer was frozen up. I had to thaw it out in order to read it however, it was warmer than I seemed.

              They said it was going to warm up in South Wales. NO MORE SNOW!

              Well it started snowing 1/2 hour ago and has already dropped over an inch of snow.

              LIARS!

                or Волгогра́д if you prefer

                (Although if you insist on your archaic formulation: Сталингра́д​)
                Сталинград or Волгоград, no accents on the Cyrillic 'd'
