MOSCOW. December 13. KAZINFORM A heavy fall of snow that started in Moscow on Sunday night has impeded traffic on the roads of the Russian capital, traffic police said, Kazinform refers to RIA Novosti.
"There have been no serious accidents, but they are possible due to temperature differences that cause ice slick," a police spokesman said, adding that in such weather pedestrians are run over more often due to longer braking distances.
Meteorologists say the snowfall will continue until Monday evening, Kazinform cites RIA Novosti. See www.en.rian.ru
