“Most likely, we will have snow cover on the first day,” RIA Novosti quoted Pozdnyakov as saying.

The weather forecaster said that on December 1, wet snow will fall, but within a day the temperature will begin to decrease, which will allow the snow to remain.

“Let’s hope that he can stay the whole winter and move into the category of sustainable snow cover,” she added.

Earlier, the head of the department of long-term weather forecasts of the Hydrometeorological Center, Vladimir Tishchenko, said that in December in Moscow and the Moscow region, temperatures are expected to exceed the norm.
