After a long period of temperatures around -20 C (-4 F), -10 C (14 F) feels actually warm. The rising temperature has brought with it moisture that shows as fog and frost. Niks and Naks wanted to go out and see for themselves.

Niks and Naks in the harbor. You should be able to see the buildings across the bay, they are rather near, but fog hides them almost completely.
Niks: Here the ice starts.
Naks: I hope there is no longer water beween the ice and the snow.
People walking on the ice. The picture is taken towards downtown, but you can't see it because of the fog!
Niks and Naks are testing the thickness of the snow.
Niks: I found ice!
Naks: No water on the ice, that is good.
Here you can see the nearest shore through the fog.
Each single branch and twig in each tree is covered with a thick layer of frost
It is so foggy that you can't see the horizon and tell where the ice ends and the sky starts. The little tree is standing on the shore, everything behind it is supposed to be snow covered ice and sky - but you can only see the fog.
Even spruces are so thickly covered with snow and frost that they look black and white - not green at all.
Niks: The rose bush behind us looks quite dead.
Naks: But is will probably bloom just fine next summer.
A birch and a pine.
Niks: The grasses are pretty dead, too.
Naks: Definitely no green patches in sight.
Niks: This bench is quite soft
Naks: Yes, it is padded with snow!
Niks: Would you like to have a couch like this in the living room.
Naks: Yes, but it would probably melt.
Niks: Not if the living room is in the deep freeze.
Naks: There is only food in the deep freeze, no couches there.
Niks: What a pity. We could lie on a snowy coach while eating all the food in the deep freeze.
