In Soviet Russia, the Snow Makes for a Hot Ride: "With much of the East coast of the US under a heavy blanket of snow, it’s starting to look (and feel) almost like the cold wilderness of Siberia. Luckily for us, spring and summer will eventually return. But in Russia the winters are even longer and harsher, and military operations can be hindered by meter-deep snowfalls. No amount of snow could slow the Soviets down, though, and they created all kinds of fascinating snowmobiles to help them get around."
