Siberia is renowned for its bitterly cold winters but the lure of picture-perfect snowscapes, frost-laden monuments, snug fur hats, steamy banya houses and winter sports attracts visitors to the region even in the coldest months of December, January and February. When temperatures start to warm up, beautifully coloured flowers are revealed and During March the snow is still crisp on the ground and the dry days are usually sunny and windless. Spring is a quick affair when the snow thaws and the summer months bring warmer temperatures and showers. By October the temperatures are brisk and the landscape takes on the gorgeous russet hues of autumn.
