Hey, Hanna, glad to see you!
No, it's not that bad in my city. It's one of the coldest Februaries in the last 7 years here, but generally we are used to this kind of weather (-25/-30 C at this time of the year is cold, but not unheard of), and it's not as humid and windy as in these southern seashore towns. There are barely any snow in some of them usually, so -25 C (about -20 F) with snowstorms and big sea storms is a shock.

Even the sea froze! With little seabirds frozen into it.
