Heaviest Snowfall in 60 Years Hits Russia’s Kamchatka Peninsula
The Kamchatka Peninsula, located in Russia’s Far East, has experienced its heaviest snowfall in decades, reaching a 60-year record according to local meteorological sources.
The massive amounts of snow have led to enormous accumulations reaching several meters in height, resulting in the blockage of entrances to many buildings and burying cars across vast parts of the region.
Weather monitoring stations reported that snowfall in some areas exceeded two meters (6.5 feet) during the first half of this January, following a recorded 3.7 meters of snow during last December.
These extreme winter conditions are considered exceptional for the Kamchatka region, which is known for its harsh continental climate and weather fluctuations.
