On January 8, strong storm “Francis” hit the European part of the country. It led to collapses at airports and on highways. Drivers had to literally dig out their cars; Tractors work almost around the clock.
The tornado affected Kursk, Belgorod, Moscow and several other cities. On January 10, it covered St. Petersburg and snow drifts increased by 12.7 cm in one day.
Tishkovets noted that with the start of the new year, winter was already clearly evident on the Russian Plain with heavy snowfall.
According to him, as of January 11, in Moscow (data from the weather station VDNKh), 72% of monthly precipitation fell before the climatic weather.
“The height of the snow cover is 1.5 times higher than expected according to long-term observations and is 37 centimeters; in the Moscow region, half-meter-long snow drifts have grown in many places,” the forecaster said.
On Monday, January 12, due to the impact of another southern storm, there will be snow with a total amount of up to 5 mm; During the day, the thermometer will display between -3° and -8°. The snow will become denser so no significant snow growth is expected.
On Tuesday, the intensity of solid rain will weaken (no more than 0.8 mm), the temperature will drop to -5°…-10°, the meteorologist noted.
