Such harsh winters are part of daily life for local residents, who are well accustomed to the cold. People continue their routines despite frozen rivers, snow-covered streets, and biting winds. Local infrastructure and housing are adapted to withstand the extreme temperatures. Experts note that Siberian winters remain among the coldest inhabited places on Earth.
