Russia is facing one of its most severe winter events in decades as massive snowstorms have shattered 146-year snowfall records, blanketing large parts of the country under unprecedented snow accumulation. The extreme weather has created towering snowdrifts, burying major cities including Moscow and severely impacting the Kamchatka Peninsula, triggering widespread disruption across transport and daily life.
Authorities say roads and highways have become nearly impassable in many regions, while airports, rail lines, and key transport corridors have been hit by major delays and shutdowns. The storms have effectively paralyzed transport networks, leaving passengers stranded and supply movement heavily restricted.
Emergency services are working around the clock as continuous snow removal operations remain underway. Local administrations have launched coordinated crisis response measures, deploying heavy machinery, rescue teams, and additional personnel to clear critical routes and ensure public safety. Officials described the situation as a historic meteorological event, with snowfall levels far exceeding normal seasonal patterns.
Residents across affected areas are struggling through what many describe as the harshest winter in decades, as extreme conditions continue to intensify logistical breakdowns and economic disruptions. With snow still accumulating in several regions, the government has implemented sustained emergency measures, focusing on restoring transport, maintaining essential services, and preventing further risk to public safety across Russia’s vast territory.
