Residents of Russia's Far Eastern Kamchatka Peninsula are experiencing the heaviest snowfall in 60 years.
In some areas, more than 2 m (6.5 feet) of snow fell in the first half of January after 3.7 m (12 feet) fell in December, Reuters reported.
“These conditions are exceptionally rare as far as modern observations go,” explained Vera Polyakova, head of Kamchatka’s Hydrometeorology Center.
