The cold

It is freaking cold here. The warmest time is -5degC and coldest -20degC. I still remember my first winter here was also very cold and snowy. A very bad snow storm hit in late October, and I spent 1 hour to dig my car out of the snow using my neighbor's shovel. By the time we turned the calendar to December we had already been buried in snow for one whole month. So when I saw the photo of December, which was otherwise a lovely snow scene, I thought they should use some summer scenes for the winter, just to make people who get stuck feel warmer.
