It's really cold...

A cold air mass has blown in from Siberia and has turned Kansai into one big refrigerator.

Cold air mass = 寒気団 - kankidan

寒 - KAN  samu・i = cold
気 - KI / KE = gas, atmosphere, spirit, mind...
団 - DAN / TON = body, group

寒さをしのぐ防寒着といえば何? - さむさをしのぐぼうかんちゃくといえばなに?

しのぐ = bear, endure, survive, keep (the cold) out...
防寒着 = winter clothes

As for winter clothes, what keeps out the cold?
