| Direct Translation via Google Translate. Edited. [Regnum] In Moscow, the height of the snowdrifts by the morning of February 15 was 54 cm;
“As a result of heavy snowfalls in the capital in the middle of the night, by 9 o’clock in the morning the height of the snow cover at the VDNH reference weather station increased by 4 cm and is 54 cm, at Balchug - 50 cm, MSU and Tushino - 64 cm,” he wrote in the Telegram channel. According to him, over the next 24 hours the snow cover will grow to 60 cm, while the norm is 36 cm, and the record was set in 1994, when 65 cm fell. As IA Regnum reported, on February 12, freezing rain covered Moscow. Moscow city services monitor the condition of the road network and carry out routine maintenance, the capital's municipal services complex previously clarified. The thaw in Moscow will be replaced by a baric “mound” and abnormally high indicators, Evgeny Tishkovets, a leading specialist at the Phobos weather center, previously noted. On February 13, barometer readings will begin to rise, due to which snow clouds will be pushed out of the Moscow region, and from February 14, an anticyclone from the Severnaya Zemlya archipelago will bring icy Arctic air to the Russian Plain; in Moscow on this day it will get colder to -16 degrees, the expert noted. | |
