[Quiet Man Cometh]

People have different opinions. I personally like the soups and steeped tea. Not really a coffee person. That's probably why the Krispy Kreme went down so fast. More people go to Timmy's for coffee than for donuts.

I live in Fort St. John right now, a rural city in North-Eastern BC at the same latitude as Moscow. It certainly gets cold (normally) but it's rarely this wet. Most of the time the snow is so dry it won't even stick to itself unless you add a bit of water. Makes it easy to move but as soon as you do move it it packs into a solid lump that you aren't moving without heavy tools. Living up here for a bit, I am no longer surprised the Inuit have so many words for now. We could use a few of them.

Amusing anecdote (to me), we had a friend visiting from Australia. When she got to the airport here it was under renovations so the plane landed on the tarmac and people just walked from the plane to the airport (this is normal. If there is snow they might put up a tarp to walk under). She didn't understand at first why we were all standing outside the airport. The baggage carousel wasn't working because of the renos, so porters brought out the luggage from the plane to the front of the airport via snow-mobile and carts. Welcome to Northern Canada!
