Mike,
  1. An unusually warm winter in Siberia and European Russia is contributing to increases in CO2 due to melting of saturated, organic-rich permafrost and surfaces of ancient lakes. Animal migrations and hibernation have been affected, as have flowering plants and deciduous trees.

2. Vladivostok is not frozen in October.

  3.Moscow has received little snow this season, and mean temperatures exceed freezing.http://www.russia-ic.com/news/show/3078/

   4. A newscast reported that winter sports in SW Russia were impossible in natural contexts, so roller blades became substitutes. http://rtv.rtrlondon.co.uk/2006-12-14/33569c2e.html
   
   Siberian weather thus is no more inhospitable than Antarctic conditions - although I doubt new Sikhote-Alin specimens are surficial.
   
  Here is an uncleaned Sikhote-Alin: http://www.gc.maricopa.edu/earthsci/imagearchive/Sikhote%20Alin%20955.jpg
   
  This specimen does appear to have morphological characteristics of Sikhote-Alin, although oxidation on Steve's stone does seem to mimic the weathered surface of Campo.

  Steve, why dont you check the frigging weather in
SIKHOTE-ALIN. That is in a place called SIBERIA, which
in the last two months, have been under many meters of
snow no doubt, blizzards and negative temperatures.
Hardly easy place to get to in the summertime, likely
a tad more difficult in the deead of winter. _So
something tells me that there have likely been no
meteorite hunters at Sikhote-Alin during the last 3 or
even 4 months.
