On Thursday, February 18, roads and sidewalks were covered with ice as the rain froze, reported LSM's Latvian-language service.

Latvian Television looked at people using the slippery sidewalks as ice rinks - too bad none of them had ice skates!

Drivers are invited to take care as the roads are slippery as well.
