In St. Petersburg frosty and sunny

After the cloudy January, when the sun in St. Petersburg shone for less than 10 hours, the townspeople rejoice at the clear and frosty February. People photograph trees covered with hoarfrost, sculpt snowmen and walk on the ice of rivers and canals, although it is forbidden. At the Peter and Paul Fortress, swims are arranged, and in the Primorsky district - they ride on sled dogs.
