Winter is Coming: First Autumn Frost Arrives in Siberia

The weather sharply deteriorates during the fall in Siberia, with strong heavy winds and blizzards arriving throughout its vast territory. Snow starts coating the roads, making them slippery when covered with ice.

However, the local Russian population enjoys the cold weather and first frosts, taking baths in icy-cold water and even riding bicycles on snowy roads wearing warm clothes.
