Moscow receives first snowfall of winter
MOSCOW: Winter arrived in Moscow on Friday as the first major snow fall of the season covered the city in a thick white blanket.
Locals said the snow was much earlier than in recent years which have been unseasonably mild.
"I am very happy that the first snow came, it's great fun, it's beautiful, particularly Moscow at night," said Anya Oleinik, local Russian student.
As always the snow was tough going for motorists as visibility was cut to a minimum and traffic was slowed by icy roads.
That didn't stop many residents from enjoying the winter wonderland on Friday as children, and the odd adult, enjoyed the first snow fights of the season in what was a very white Red Square.
