Norilsk și-a bătut recordul oficial de strat, deși abia e ianuarie...
This is an absolute record for the weather station, as of January 8! The record of 110 cm, noted in March and April 2001, fell. By the way, it is the second time in the history (to be exact since 1976), the snow height reached 100 cm at the weather station!!!
Honestly, 2021, surprised me. Already on the 8th day of the year, set a historical, absolute maximum of the snow height! And there is a treasure trove of possibilities ahead, the whole January and February - April, in all these months it is possible to renew the maximum of the year, and more than once!
Annual high.

The unique situation of low winds contributes to the record. As practice shows, winds of 10 m/s or less are not enough to drift the snow from the platform. The main enemy for snow height increase is the classic, strong and gusty wind that reigns in Norilsk.
Indeed, there is an extraordinary amount of snow. At work, it's beautiful! Where the boarding platform for the bus is, it hadn't been cleared for days. So there's fresh snow up to the waist, you walk on it like an icebreaker in SLO! The resistance is weak. That snow is fluffy and light. It's not like the hardened snow that has been there since October and November, and then frosted by an additional long cold spell in December, which in some places can easily hold a person's weight. But if you fall through, you have to get out of the snow and it's quite difficult. It's fun to walk in the snow up to my waist!
Din timpul ultimei ninsori (a nins vreo 7 zile).
Iar o avalanșă a distrus câteva case de la baza unui deal din apropiere.
