Forecasters promised that the snowfall in the capital will be the strongest since 1949

Within a few hours, four millimeters of precipitation fell at once in the capital. About it Interfax told the city meteorological office. They added that the snow is heavy in places, and that it will persist in the Moscow region until at least nine in the evening. In the morning in Moscow, the Yandex.Traffic jams service showed 8 points out of 10. Traffic is difficult along some embankments, as well as along the Garden Ring and the Third Transport Ring. Now the situation has improved somewhat, and traffic jams have dropped to 6 points.

In turn, the mayor’s office asks drivers to be more attentive on the roads. She encourages understanding of the work of city services. Also, the administration asks to refrain from traveling by private car and use public transport today. Difficulties due to the weather were also observed the day before – dozens of flights were canceled or delayed at airports last night. Now Domodedovo admitted that in the near future, a change in the departure time is possible, since in a blizzard, additional cleaning of the runways and the treatment of aircraft against ice is required.

Meanwhile, in the Pskov region today they reported on the restoration of power supply, which was interrupted a week ago due to snowfalls and freezing rains. 12 thousand people were left without light due to bad weather.
