Entry number 6 The time to write anything. I hope today it will be more succesful than my yesterday entry which seems to be too long, or too boring for readers, or just didn't get the range of their interests. Who knows? It doesn't matter. Today I have a great view out of my office window: sun shines brightly and there are no clouds in the hyaline sky. You could see every single city detail across the Ob river, that now looks like a giant white snake which was clamped by bridges arches tryaing to squirm throughout our city. Now it's lays calmly. It's frozen. Only yesterday the outside temperature was about zero Celsius, but today it's already -18, with a strong chilling wind and tends to reach predicted on the Friday -35. Would you like to visit Siberia in Winter? So, don't forget to buy a warm clothes or get ready to buy it here =) See you tomorrow

Entry number 6

The time to write anything. Something

I hope today it will be more succesful than my yesterday's entry which seems to be too long, or too boring for readers, or just didn't get the range of their interests. Who knows? It doesn't matter. Today I have a great view out of my office window, (use , not : ) the sun shines brightly and there are no clouds in the hyaline (? Russian word? Or I can't figure out the spelling) . You could (can) see every single city detail across the Ob river, that now looks like a giant white snake which was clamped by bridges arches tryaing to squirm throughout our city. Now it's lays calmly. It's frozen. Only yesterday the outside temperature was about zero Celsius, but today it's already -18, with a strong chilling wind and tends to reach predicted (to reach -35) on the Friday -35.

message me if you have questions or want better explainations.

I assumed you were using your imagination and being fanciful or whimsical :D Hayaline is a new word for me, and I have a huge vocabulary. As per Google, it is now mostly used as medical or biological word. I think this is a word that can be used both a noun and an adjective. I will try to find some metaphors for crystal clear for you. Another option is to personify the river, treat it like a person. The Ob snaked through the city squiriming to escape the bridges that held it captive.

I hope today it will be more succesful than my last yesterday entry which seems to be too long, or too boring for readers, or just didn't get the range of their interests*1. Who knows? It doesn't matter. Today I have a great view out of my office window: the sun is shining brightly and there are no clouds in the hyaline sky. You could see every single city detail across the Ob river*2, that now looks like a giant white snake which has been*3 clamped by bridges and arches whilst trying to squirm throughout our city. Now it's lays calmly. It's frozen. Only yesterday the outside temperature was about zero Celsius, but today it's already -18, with a strong chilling wind and tends to reach predicted on the Friday -35. it is predicted to get as cold as -35 by Friday!

*1 here could say 'or it just didn't catch their attention'

*2 Over the river Ob, you can see every inch of the city,

*3 was / has been - see here for the difference http://www.differencebetween.net/language/difference-between-has-been-and-was/

It's just a play of my imagination, because the Ob river is rather wide in its middle reaches and its turns are not so obvious even from this height. About 'hyaline' I wanted to find something like 'crystal clear' and found this word, but, according to Oxford dictionary, it must be used as a noun. noun 1. (literary) A smooth sea or a clear sky: ‘through the clear hyaline the ship came sailing’

just wanted to say that I like how you described the Ob river. Very poetic. I like that image of a river as a snake. So cold there! It makes my nighttime -5C (or so) positively balmy!
