Extreme cold: a day working outside

This Tuesday, January 14 morning, a cold snap hit France. For example, it was minus eleven degrees in Mourmelon, minus nine degrees in Troyes, and more surprisingly, minus eight degrees in Salon-de-Provence. For gardeners in urban green spaces, these very cold days are even more trying. Freezing temperatures will last all week. Around thirty departments have triggered the severe cold plan to help the most deprived.
