Video - Weather in the Middle and South Urals weather continues to deteriorate.
Snowfall accumulation has left cars and trucks hardly moving on highway M5 “Ural.” The wind blowing so heavily that visibility does not exceed 5-15 meters. From the border with Bashkortostan and Chelyabinsk, heavy vehicle traffic is limited.
Rescuers got stuck in the snow on the route Asha – Chelyabinsk . In order to save fuel stove in the cabin of the bus is not included, the passengers quickly frozen, ITAR-TASS reported . (I don’t know how to make sense of that translation.)
Snowfall also brought a lot of trouble to residents of Buryatia, paralyzing traffic on federal highway M55 .
