This picture, from The New York Times, makes a Fargo winter look downright hospitable.

It's captioned: Children made their way along a street on Saturday in the city of Iiyama in Nagano Prefecture, Japan. The coldest winter in decades has brought record snowfall to the area, known as Japan's snow country.
