Recent heavy snowfalls in Moscow have resulted in a snow cover exceeding 80 centimeters, breaking a record that stood since 1994. Meteorologist Yevgueni Tishkovets reported that for the first time in history, the weather conditions have surpassed previous records. This unusual weather phenomenon has been closely monitored and reported on various platforms, including Telegram, where Tishkovets shared the significant snowfall data.

The Russian space agency, Roscosmos, contributed to the documentation of this event by releasing satellite images that display Moscow and the central region of Russia covered in snow. Tishkovets highlighted that within just a 24-hour period, a quarter of the normal monthly precipitation fell, leading to significant snow accumulation that blanketed the streets of the capital.

Specific areas reported varying depths of snow, with VDNH, a central exhibition complex, recording 73 centimeters against a standard of 38 centimeters. Other locations like Balchug and Tushino reported snow depths of 81 and 75 centimeters respectively, while Moscow State University saw a remarkable 84 centimeters. The implications of such severe weather could involve disruptions in daily life, transportation, and city services as residents adapt to the extreme conditions.
