Record Russia Snow
Much of Russia, particularly its central regions, is experiencing a polar outbreak that has brought record-breaking snowfall.
By the morning of Sunday (Nov 24), Tver reported a depth of 27 cm (10.6 inches), which comfortably surpassed the previous November snow record of 21 cm (8.3 inches).
Likewise, the western Moscow Region, including Mozhaisk, Volokolamsk, and Klin, all record snow depths north of 20 cm (7.9 inches)—again setting records.
While in the Smolensk Region, the areas of Yelnya, Vyazma, and Gagarin observed 25 cm (9.8 inches). But it was the Kaluga Region's of Spas-Demensk and Mosalsk that took the top spot, reporting 29 cm (11.4 inches).
Latest Rutgers University Global Snow Lab data show extensive snow cover across Russia, with over 90% of the country covered. Note Mongolia and Canada are also blanketed, with the U.S. up next (see below).
Looking ahead, forecasts are calling for more of the same, with Dombaj expecting another 41 cm (16 inches) and Rosa Khutor anticipating an additional 39 cm (15 inches) over the coming week.
Winter's early onset continues across Russia, with substantial snow accumulations already affecting various regions.
