Strong Winds Are Literally Knocking People Off Their Feet in Russia

There he goes!

Wind and ice are a pretty brutal combination. Unfortunately for Russians, that’s basically their entire country for a significant portion of the year!

And so, over in Russia, they’re pretty used to a) feeling cold; and b) having to deal with incredibly strong winds *while* it’s cold. I know, sounds like a pretty miserable existence, but hey, that’s what the vodka is for.

In this case, the winds got so bad in the country that people were literally swept off their feet, with people who were just trying to enjoy their walks suddenly finding themselves tumbling into the icy streets.
