It’s possible that it will bring two records at once.
Frosts are approaching a record. In the east of the region, last night it was -27.7°C, and in the center of Moscow, protected from the cold by pairs of heating plants, only -16.5°C.
The first possible record is the amount of snow. Since February 12, 1973 there has been 7.4 mm of precipitation, and on Friday we expect at least 10-15 mm or 15 to 20 cm of snow.
The second is the height of the snow cover. It could approach 1999 records, when in Moscow, according to observations, there were 58 to 61 cm of snow. Now the capital is about 35 centimeters.
