VietNamNet Bridge - The temperature of 5.4 degrees Celsius in Ha Dong district, Hanoi on the morning of January 24 was the lowest since 1977.

Also, snow had never fallen for such a long time on Ba Vi Mount, 60km from Hanoi hub, as on January 24, said Le Thanh Hai, deputy director of the National Meteorological Centre.

For the first time, the Sapa meteorological station in Lao Cai province recorded a temperature of -4.2 degrees Celsius and -4.4 degrees Celsius at the Mau Son station in Lang Son province on January 24, Hai added.

Cold weather sparks inventions

As the temperature in Hanoi dropped to below 10 degrees C over the weekend, the locals brainstormed plenty of ways to brave the bitter cold.

Covering their bodies with an array of warm coats and scarves is not enough. A father in Hanoi felt safer installing a windproof glass frame around his motorbike.

In doing so, he and his daughter no longer fear strong gusts of wind on the way to school every day.

A photo of the father-daughter duo riding to school on this uniquely-designed motorbike has attracted the attention of readers on the Voice of Viet Nam online newspaper.

This proves that when the weather gets worse, inventions are triggered.

This could be a good idea for people in mountainous areas where temperatures plunged to below 0 degrees C and snowflakes started to fall. Traffic police officers might even consider legalizing the design on roads!

People wore raincoat against cold, even though it didn't rain on January 24.                                                     A motorcycle taxi driver burn fire.        The quiet West Lake.
