    Blizzard of the century blankets Moscow, 1.2 mln cubic meters removed



    In the past few days, the Moscow region has been hit by the heaviest snowfall on record. By Sunday morning, snow depth reached 43 centimeters. Russia’s State Hydrometeorology Service prolonged its high weather risks alert on February 5, saying the blizzard with snowdrifts and heavy snow accumulations on the roads would continue. See the images of Moscow's snow apocalypse.

    "Bobs" are popular in Russia. I'll even gladden you much more. In Russia we also like the outboard motors Mercury, Johnson, Evinrude, Minn Kota (they are good competitors to Japanese, Korean, Australian and Chinese) and the sonars Lawrence, Humminbird and Garmin.

    I also see what looks like a coffee stall set up ... with the name of it advertised in non-Cyrillic script.

    This, I take it, is an example of Russia's catering to much-needed Western tourism (first post, third from bottom photo) ?

    Default Ignore this balu....

    Last year, in the city of BUFFALO, NEW YORK. They recorded EIGHT FEET of snow on the ground.

    The only APOCALYPTIC thing happening there is PUTIN...being a RACIST for allowing WHITE snow.
    I love to make Liberals Cry, and Whine.
    So, this is for them.
    GOD BLESS AMERICA - IN GOD WE TRUST !

    There will be many new Muscovites nine months from now, with everyone snowed in there's nothing to do but have sex until it melts. Moscow is a swinging place when it snows, everyone becomes a sex machine.

    I like how the doll vendor had a Joseph Stalin doll and a Queen Elizabeth II doll right in the middle of the display and right next to each other.
