brrrh..... very cold and frosty winter in Zurich

So friends, here are some very frosty pictures of Zurich. It looks romantic, but don't be fooled.

It has been quite a while ago, several years ago that Zurich has experience such long hauls of frosty, windy and cold winter like this. According to CNN, the whole european continent, is frozen with extreme negative temperatures. In Zurich, the temperature in the morning and evening would be around negative 8 degrees, during the day it climbs up to negative 4 degrees.

So what do you do beside dressing up warmly before going out into the cold. It is indeed a hassle to think of everything before you are set to go out and then when you are out in the icy cold wind and frozen ground, you are glad that you dressed up like a bear !

Things you can do to survive the cold.

• Dress in layers so that you could can always remove a layer of clothing when it gets too warm... well in weather like these it would not be too often ;-)


• Walk faster and stride swifter.


• Try to walk through departmental stores or any shops to get to the next street, to get yourself warm up. Pretend that you are window shopping.


• Buy a big cup of coffee and sip slowly while you walk faster.
  
• Make more coffee and croissant break in cafes and restaurants, your boss would definetely not appreciate this point


• If you cannot walk fast enough to get to your destination, always be smart to hop in to the local bus and trams... great heating.


• Stay home and get all your grocery shopping shopping online. Great tip if you are too lazy to dress up like a bear :-)
