Here's a response from Mika about coping with cold weather. In winter we have big differences in temperature. People who live on the coast have mild winter and we living in the East have it much more colder. And people who live in North have coldest. We are so used to cold temperatures.
Winter lasts here about five months.
We go to work despite cold. Every morning our cars get electricity to warm motors. Students from Los Alamitos, California asked how many layers of clothes do we have. Well, when it's near -30C we have about 4 layers. Students are allowed so stay in when it's lower than -20C. Danger of frostbite exists but because we are so used to cold we adapt our clothing according to the weather.
