Woman walks sheep on snow-blanketed street

What citizens do when snow blankets the city? People in Northeastern US skied up streets, while a woman in Urumqi, Northwest China's Xinjiang autonomous region took advantage of the snow by walking her sheep.

Photos of a fashionable woman walking her sheep on the streets in Urumqi went viral on social media platforms Weibo and WeChat on Sunday, Xinjiang Metropolis Daily reported.

The woman in her twenties walked her pet at different places on Sunday, each time with a different sheep whose horn was dyed different colors with a homburg or crown on its head.

An Internet user, named China Xinjiang, said "Xinjiang is filled with good pastures and is home to an edgy female shepherd".
