Minus temperature and snow are a rarity. The only exceptions are mountains, where at the very tops snow is a common thing. Very often in January there are “Alkeonid days” – they are similar to the Indian summer: the temperature rises sharply over two or three weeks to 20 degrees, and the whole air is saturated with the aromas of spring. Throughout all these days, the birds of the Alkeonids breed their chicks. Actually, that’s why these days are called so.
