Winter’s first snow falls in Moscow

Moscow, Oct 23: As generally happens unexpected, the first snow of the winter has fallen in Moscow with weather specialists forecasting more light snowfall throughout the week. Weather forecasters on Sunday recorded the lowest temperatures since the start of the fall, Interfax news agency said. Russian Federal Meteorological Service (RFMS) has announced temperatures to hover slightly above 0 degrees Celsius with light snow starting from Monday. Temperatures are expected to dip below 0 C on Thursday, with heavier snowfall expected over the weekend. The first snows fall like the fluffy white powder of coming December, so much as slap you in the face with the full force of October's bitter and biting promise of the six months of gloom that lie ahead.
