In the winter, Estonia only gets around 6 hours of sunlight with the sun setting around 3:30pm! The harsh conditions make it harder for people to travel, stay warm, and grow food.
In cities like Tallinn, public transportation has been built to operate even in snowy weather. The buses and trams have heaters. This makes sure that people can still go to work and school, no matter the weather. In rural areas, some people use cross country skiing to travel when the roads are covered in snow.
