Heaviest Snowfall - Ever - Hits Moscow

#1 Postby Anonymous » Sat Feb 05, 2005 11:24 am

January 31, 2005 - Pedestrians waded through meter-high snowdrifts on Friday as the heaviest one-day snowfall on record raged through Moscow. Indeed, January may turn out to be the snowiest since city weather records began in the 19th century, second only to January 1970. This January's snowfall is twice the January average, and more snow is expected throughout the week. It took a total of 25,000 workers and 5,000 snowplows labored to clean up the main highways.

wow !

I know that feeling. Seems like we could really use some snow in the Eastern USA for a change too....................

Hopefully conditions will become more favorable for a colder and wetter late February into March..............:wink:

Extended warm periods can be a GOOD PRECURSOR down the road for when the tides turn, viola .... a nature balancing act, and again, a way of maintaining an average ...

Well the atmosphere is cold here at the moment, but looking at the latest MetO charts I'm not really expecting any snow. :(

This is also quite bad:

CET: (Feb 1-13): 6.6ºC (+2.4 degC)
