Expert of the Meteonovosti agency Tatyana Pozdnyakova reported that since the beginning of October 14, almost 15% of the monthly precipitation norm has fallen in Moscow.
"The snow that fell in Moscow during the Intercession of the Holy Virgin on October 14 has become almost legendary in the 21st century. The climate is getting warmer. What kind of snow falls in the middle of autumn? And this month it became a reality. That's all," she wrote on her Telegram channel.
By 18:00, the capital had received an average of about 10 mm of precipitation, first as rain and then wet snow. The monthly amount of precipitation in the capital in October is 70 mm.

"And in one day the landscape changed from autumn to winter. And on October 15, 2007, the snow depth at VDNKh was 2 cm. Perhaps tomorrow the weather station will measure the snow level. I am on the cover for the first time this season," Pozdnyakova concluded.
On the morning of October 14, the first snow fell in Moscow. At the same time, the previous night was the coldest since the beginning of October. The lowest temperature at VDNKh was 2.4 degrees, and in Lukhovitsy, Moscow Region, the air cooled to negative values.
