| Snow in Moscow |
March 2, 2016 - MOSCOW, RUSSIA - A heavy spring snowstorm hit the Moscow region
last night.
The unexpected weather conditions complicated the situation
on Moscow roads and forced Domodedovo and Sheremetyevo airports to
cancel more than a hundred flights.
Weather forecasters predict the strongest snowfall for the end of the
week. According to Russia's meteorological service, such snowstorms
occur in March once every 50 years.
The snowfall took Moscow's residents by surprise. Pedestrians heading to
work are getting stuck in the snow, while many car owners have to dig
their cars out of snow banks.
However, many people have not lost their sense of humor and shared their impressions on social networks.
