Spring is starting, and I thought the weather was comfortable for walking yesterday evening. However, I was mistaken about the temperature. During the day, it's relatively warm, around -10 degrees Celsius, but in the evening, the temperature drops below -20 degrees Celsius. There's a lot of snow on the streets. We don't know when it will start melting.

The most terrible, when such snow caps hang on the edge of the roofs or canopies, and they are ready to fall on the heads of passers-by. Every year in the city, someone dies because of the collapse of snow from the roof.

I really wanted to stop and eat a kebab, as the smell was tempting me to satisfy my hunger, but I had a daughter waiting for me at home, and I needed to cook dinner for her as well. I passed by the cafe.

However, everything is covered with a thick layer of snow, and the attractions are currently in storage.

That's right, it was the summer of 1986! And back then, I weighed 40 kg less... It turns out that I can count years in kilograms.

But I haven't seen people like this on the streets of our city for about 20 years. The law prohibits it.

I need to go home, cook dinner, and feed my daughter. Especially since I'm not dressed for the weather, and it's getting cold outside. ***Friends, goodbye! Until the next walk.***
