Slippery Rough Times for Russian Pedestrians at 30 Below Zero


When the ice and snow hit the proverbial fan in some northern regions, there's not much one can do other than to stay inside and avoid going out as humanly possible. Otherwise, you'll get scenes like the ones featured in this video.

Those who can afford to stay in, like this carefree couple who filmed a few minutes of pedestrian oopsies on the ice-cold and snow-ridden sidewalks and roads across their house, can actually have a laugh about it at the expense of their fellow citizens…
