The remote Kamchatka Peninsula in Russia has been struck by an unprecedented winter storm, widely described by locals and media as a 'snow apocalypse.' The region, particularly its capital Petropavlovsk-Kamchatsky, has witnessed record-breaking snowfall, with accumulations reaching several meters, in some areas described as the heaviest in 30, 130, or even 146 years. Viral videos and images circulating online graphically depict a landscape transformed, with snowdrifts engulfing cars and piling up to the second, third, and even fourth floors of multi-storey residential buildings. The severity of the storm led Mayor Yevgeny Belyayev to declare a citywide state of emergency, mobilizing extensive resources for snow removal and emergency response. The extreme conditions have tragically resulted in at least two fatalities, with residents reportedly killed by large slabs of snow and ice collapsing from rooftops. Daily life has been severely disrupted, with roads becoming impassable, public transportation suspended, and schools temporarily closed. Reports also indicate logistical challenges leading to shortages of essential supplies like bread and milk in local stores. Emergency services are working tirelessly to clear routes and assist trapped residents, while meteorologists attribute the intense snowfall to powerful low-pressure systems over the Sea of Okhotsk.
