Vladivostok Gets Month's Worth of Snow in Single Night

Vladivostok was covered in its monthly norm of snow for March.

A month's worth of snow fell on Vladivostok within a few hours early Wednesday after a severe storm hit the far eastern city.

By 9 a.m., Vladivostok was covered in its monthly norm of snow for March, the Interfax news agency cited the regional branch of the national weather service as saying.

A number of long-distance bus routes have been suspended, and police appealed to residents to avoid traveling unless absolutely necessary, the report said, citing local authorities.

Schools and kindergartens in Vladivostok remained open, but the city's education department said it was up to the parents to decide whether to take their children to school, according to Interfax.

… we have a small favor to ask.
