A deep winter freeze has transformed the city into a postcard-perfect scene, with snow-laden trees framing icy ponds and a muted skyline standing quietly in the cold.

Parks and public spaces were blanketed in fresh snow, as temperatures dipped low enough to glaze waterways and soften the usual hum of urban life. The wintry tableau offered residents and visitors alike a rare moment of stillness.

Despite the bitter cold, the snow-covered landscape drew onlookers outdoors, some pausing to take photos or walk through frost-lined paths.
