Whether it's embracing the crisp winter air or simply finding an excuse to wear a cosy jacket and see your breath in the cold, there's something for everyone.
This is exciting news for residents who prefer to stay indoors, as some areas in the city could experience a drop to 8 oC today, according to the country's Met department.
