Following a recent snowfall, the centre of Moscow has been transformed into a winter wonderland, covered in a blanket of snow. Meteorologists expect the precipitation to continue throughout the day, with snowdrifts reaching heights of up to 22 centimetres, according to a Phobos forecaster.
The heavy snow and freezing rain in Moscow has led to a storm warning until 1pm, according to Vilfand. Residents and commuters are urged to exercise caution when travelling on snow-covered roads and sidewalks.
The capital's meteorological office has announced that temperatures will plummet this week, reaching as low as -12°C at night. There is a silver lining, however, as precipitation is expected to decrease, allowing the city to gradually thaw from its wintry embrace.
As Muscovites adapt to the challenges of snowfall, the cityscape will continue to transform with the promise of sub-zero temperatures and the serene beauty of a winter landscape.
