"Such cold weather is so rare. Usually when the temperature is more than 30 degrees below zero, we usually say 'cold' when we go out. But these days we say 'it's really cold' when we go out. We even say in our Northeastern dialect that it feels like 'a layer of skin has been frozen off.'" Mohe traffic policeman Sun Liqiang said that even if a fully charged mobile phone is kept in a pocket for the whole time, the phone will be completely frozen and run out of power in about half an hour.

What do traffic police wear outdoors to keep warm?

According to Sun Liqiang, when he goes out on duty, he first wears a sweater on the upper body, a woolen sweater on the outside, and then a police coat on the outside. On the lower body, he wears linen pants, and then thick cotton pants made by himself with more than a pound of cotton. In addition to wearing furry cotton shoes on his feet, he also puts some heat patches in the shoes. "These clothes are actually very warm at ordinary times, but I feel frozen after staying outside for a while these days. "

No matter how much you wear, you can't keep out the cold. The traffic police have changed their shifts from one hour to every 10 minutes.

"These pipe networks are like the 'arteries' of the body. Only by ensuring that there are no problems with the 'arteries' can we ensure that hot water flows continuously to the users' homes . We strictly implement 24-hour inspections, increase the frequency of inspections, and deal with problems in a timely manner to ensure that there are no problems with heating and ensure that residents spend a warm and peaceful Spring Festival."

Warm! Residents wear short sleeves at home

The heating service hotline, emergency repair team and emergency repair vehicles are on standby 24 hours a day to respond to emergencies at any time. Although water drops outside turn into ice and breath turns into frost, when you walk into the residents' homes, you will feel a strong warmth.

"It's very cold outside, but it's quite warm in our house. You see, we are all wearing short sleeves in the house, and our children are all wearing small shirts and pants, but they are not cold, they are quite warm. The boiler of the heating department is working very well, thank them for making our house so warm!" said Li Shijuan, a resident of Mohe.
