The main reason for deciding to go to the city is comfort, as the apartments offer relatively good living conditions.
Much depends on the equipment of the house and the age of the owner.
Therefore, the question needs to be asked differently: is a summer resident able to withstand all the hardships associated with winter living?
Let's look into this issue in more detail.
Why you shouldn't stay at your dacha in winter
Here are some reasons.
- Heating. Even if you have a stove, you will need quite a lot of firewood both to achieve the desired temperature and to cook food. You will have to heat almost constantly in severe frosts.
- Bathhouse. If you don't have a shower with a boiler, you'll have to wash in a bathhouse. City dwellers are used to washing at least once every 2 days, and you'll have to heat the bathhouse quite often.
- There's a lot of snow. It'll have to be cleared away most of the time, and it'll still appear the next day.
