Winter has become the undisputed master of the entire region of Russia. Why has it arrived? Decreasing temperatures, snowfall, and the formation of snow cover are major indicators. Between latitudes this can be appreciated. But there are much more types of winter weather conditions, and the coming winter (as well as all previous winters and next) will not be without heavy snowfalls, blizzards, drifts, heavy frosts, thaws, watery snow, frost phenomena. and fog. .

The territory of Russia is large and diverse in terms of physical and geographical conditions, so the frequency of severe weather conditions varies from region to region. In Yakutia and Siberia, the eastern coast and the Arctic Ocean often experience severe frost - strong winds and torrential rain. In the European part of the country, frost from the rear of the Urals may alternate with heavy snowfalls and thaws brought by cyclones from the west or south. In addition, in the European part of the country, especially in the first half of winter, the ice improves due to rain..

Such weather events can be very disturbing and even disrupt the rhythm of life, and in some cases cause serious damage to the weather-dependent economy. In the winter of 2022-2023, the term "warm rain" was repeated in the press. The situation at the end of December 2023 in the central part of European Russia is really rare in terms of multi-year regional conditions. In the 350-400 kilometers of temperate weather from the northwestern region to the southern mountains of the Urals, heavy rainfall (rain, rain and warm rain for a few hours) was observed for two days..

As a result, glassy ice deposits on trees and wires reach 20-35 mm and last for 2-3 weeks. formed due to heavy rain. When the air temperature distribution is inverted (when the air temperature is higher), rain falling in the cloudy layer with good temperature falls, hits the upper air layer with bad temperature and settles and wires, branches. trees and ground surface,.

moving and producing ice. The probability of ice is observed at temperatures of 0 ... -3 °C. Ice on roads and highways causes many injuries and car accidents. In winter, it is not uncommon for communication lines and power wires to be disrupted. This applies for the first time to the southern part of the European Union..
