Snow will remain in the European part of Russia until mid-March

“This snow will last for a long time, it will melt only when the snow cover melts, and this is the second half of March,” Vilfand quotes TASS.

According to him, the snow height is now about 3 cm higher than normal.

However, he noted that the thaw will nevertheless reduce the height of the snow cover in the coming days by about 10 cm.

Earlier, Anatoly Tsygankov, Deputy Head of the Situation Center of the Hydrometeorological Center of Russia, commented on the sharp temperature drops in the regions.
