Locals in Russia’s Kamchatka Peninsula are calling it a “snow apocalypse” after record-breaking snowfall buried towns, blocked roads, and forced a state of emergency, with snow piling up to building levels in some areas.

4. I've seen similar scenes 4x in 20 years here in WNY.

Living on the northeastern shore of Lake Erie when a hard cold southwest wind blows across the entire length of the lake can be quite an adventure. Since the winter of 2000 there has been 5 incredible lake effect events that have produced 6-7 feet of snow in 24-48 hour periods, with 10-15 ft drifts, often with blizzard conditions. I have to hire a front loader to get rid of the snow! But there has never been anything as dangerous as the Buffalo Blizzard of 1977. Look that one up. An unforgettable 3 day storm.

On the Kamchatka Peninsula, snowdrifts have reached the height of four-story buildings—this is an absolute record for precipitation since the start of the 21st century.
A local resident dug his car out of...a five-meter snowdrift (3 videos) and became a social media star—according to him, he parked it there because snow usually doesn't pile up there 🥶
