Due to the greenhouse effect and global warming, Moscow, the capital of Russia, will not have snow this New Year, which is an unimaginable event for Russians in the northern country. What should be done if there is no snow on New Year? This has become a topic of discussion among the locals in recent days.
According to the Moscow and Moscow Oblast Meteorological Bureau, westerly winds will bring warm and humid marine air to Moscow and Moscow Oblast a week before New Year. It is predicted that New Year's Day will be cloudy to sunny with no snowfall.
To avoid disappointing the public, the Moscow city government arranged for Grandfather Frost (Santa Claus) to hold a press conference at the city hall to reassure the public. He promised Moscow citizens and tourists that there would be snow during the New Year.
Moscow's First Deputy Mayor Shvetsova added that heavy snow would be the best New Year's gift, but she asked Grandfather Frost not to overdo it, so that the city's cleaning teams would have time to clear the roads.
On call-in programs of Moscow radio stations, people are discussing "what to do if there is no snow on New Year?" They believe that a miracle will surely happen, and that President Putin, in order not to disappoint the public, will ask the Moscow city government to coordinate with the military to help produce artificial snow.
