In the northeastern region, students have been sharing their challenging experiences of walking to classrooms, cafeterias, dormitories, and other school facilities in snowy weather on social media. This has created an online sensation, as the region has been grappling with the first cold wave of the winter season since Nov 5, which still lingers, causing a temperature drop of 6 to 8 degrees Celsius and snow accumulation of over 30 centimeters in some areas.

Some online videos depict students wearing thick coats struggling against strong winds, and even falling heavily on their way. In some instances, students have resorted to skiing to reach their classes.
