The wind, which knocks down and lifts off the ground, moves buses and even airplanes. Do you think that this happens only in Hollywood movies? Then you definitely have not been to Norilsk. Winter lasts about nine months here, and during this time the strongest snowstorms hit the city and its surroundings several times. In the most severe snowstorms the wind with snow blows at the speed of up to 40 m/s and sometimes does not stop for several days. Visibility drops so much that if to stretch out your hand, it is impossible to see own fingers. Life in the city stops until the weather gets better. Such snowstorms are called "black snowstorms". This dangerous phenomenon can be compared to an avalanche. Snowdrifts after such a snowstorm grow up to several meters high. When did people first face this phenomenon? How do residents of Norilsk survive during the "black snowstorm"? Why is it dangerous to be outside in this weather? Are there any other cities in Russia where such winds blow? You will learn more about the "black snowstorm" from this video.
