Russia's Vladimir Putin has telephoned President Barack Obama to discuss the weather, it has been reported.
Mr Obama is reported to have told Mr Putin that the weather in Washington D.C. is "warm, but not hot" before asking "How's the weather over in Moscow?", the White House said in a statement.
According to the Kremlin, Mr Putin suggested the weather in Moscow was really cold, "like below freezing cold" he apparently said.
While Washington D.C. and the surrounding area starts to warm up this time of the year, meteorologists have suggested that Moscow could be waiting another month before the weather warms up there.
In the hour-long phone call, the US president urged Mr Putin to make sure his car is topped up with anti-freeze.
The two leaders agreed that they would talk again in "about two weeks" to review the situation with the weather in both cities.
