Unseasonal ice storms hit many parts of Russia on November 18 and 19, 2020, causing power outages, traffic chaos, and the collapse of key infrastructure systems in the Far East.

An overnight storm accompanied by strong northerly winds and ice rain -- described by The Siberian Times as 'weather apocalypse' -- caused the collapse of key systems in the Russian Far East on November 19, 2020, leaving at least 120 000 people without electricity.

Vladivostok and most of the Primorye region were turned into frozen land, the paper reported, adding that hundreds of power lines were cut by wet snow and ice.

The weather caused flight delays and traffic chaos after many roads and several bridges were shut down. Schools and kindergartens were also closed.

A huge concrete slab fell on a car in Vladivostok, with the car owner evading it by a miracle. ​

It’s November.

What’s unseasonal about an ice storm?

You have to watch that video at the link.

I’m glad I don’t live in Russia because I’m not sure I could live with concrete slabs falling out of the sky.

"Unseasonal" ice storm hits central Russia, key systems collapse in the Far East

And this "unusual" phenomenon will continue until Russia erects statues of Al Gore in every province.

Given the long history of Russian winters how is this considered unseasonal?

Never invade a country where they eat ice cream outside in February.
