A record amount of snow has fallen this January in Moscow as the Agency of the city news "Moscow" learned from the Director General of the Moscow's and Moscow Region's Meteobureau Mr. Alexey Lyakhov. "An analysis of our last 50 years' records allows us to say that this January is the most snowy since the January of 1970 with its 100 cm of snow (39 3/8 inches). This January's total snowfall has already risen to 104 cm (41 inch) and the month isn't over yet, so the total can grow more. The 50 years average is 40-45 cm (15 3/4-17 5/7 inches)", said Mr. Lyakhov.
According to his words, much snow is good for the city's soil. "Much snow means much water for soil in spring. That's good for the city's greens and trees. Especially because a city's soil is usually dry", said Mr. Lyakhov.
The travel ban was bad because Moscow city didn't need any under worse conditions. I can hardly imagine that NYC can't afford a fleet of trucks and tractors.
Well, I think that's possible, but they'll use toy shovels. Anyway, a Russian news site reports that the Major of a Siberian city called Irkutsk has sent some city officials to shovel snow as a punishment for some management failures. There is a video.
That can’t be...it’s been the warmest year EVER! The Times said so!
Some scientists say that the earth's crust in the upper Midwest and northeast is still rebounding from the weight of the last glaciation.
