It was the coldest winter this winter around January 15th.
The weather forecast for smartphones is minus 23 degrees.
The ice on the river flowing through the city would have thickened at once.
As I walk outside, the breath that leaks from my mask makes my lashes freeze.
A snowplow with a large rotating brush scrapes the frozen snow.
Salt and sand are sprinkled on the frozen roads to prevent falls on the sidewalks.
Thanks to that, I won't fall, but the entrance is full of sand, and my leather shoes will soon be ruined ...

It is such a northern country, living in the midwinter.
