In mid -January on Sakhalin was hit by a powerful snow cyclone. Due to record snowfalls, an emergency mode has been introduced in some areas. It is reported that in just the first day, 34% of the average monthly precipitation fell in the region.

Schools have been temporarily closed in Yuzhno-Sakhalinsk, public transport is not working, and local residents are hopelessly trying to find their cars in giant snowdrifts. Some can’t even leave the house because of the snow-covered doors.

But, despite the real collapse, the residents of Sakhalin are not discouraged. A funny challenge called “Swim in snowdrifts” appeared on social networks, in which people dive into two-meter mountains of snow.

By the way, in parallel, the social challenge “Take a shovel” was launched in social networks, in which local residents, without waiting for utility workers, themselves clear roads and approaches to houses and bus stops.
