That's a 'rural legend'. It doesn't happen.
Not at -48C anyway which is the coldest its
been here since we came to Finland. Other
much more uncomfortable things happen to
anatomy casually or promiscuously exposed in
very cold weather. Its a good idea not to do
any writing at all. Or at least keep your
ideas to yourself until you're standing in
front of a substantial campfire.

Well, it is cold there - writing in the snow?
I believe there are places in Russia where you wouldn't be able to do it -
you urine would froze in the air not reaching ground or rather snow :-) I
think Boris can only confirm that ;-)
