The locals are happy that the farm will be good after the snowfalls. Now the locals have planted barley, wheat, and other cereal crops. They are ready to plant potatoes. With the snow, the cold has increased. The lives of the locals have become troublesome. The locals have not been able to get out of the house for daily activities.
