Snowfall disaster in Russia – Crops buried under more than a foot of snow.

Emergency declared in three regions of Khakassia. Harvesting of feed and grain crops temporarily suspended. 

Russia 4 Oct 2017 –  “The bread went under the snow.” For agrarians, snow on top of unharvested fields is a real disaster.

At first came the heavy rains so harvesting couldn’t begin. Then came the frosts and snow, from 10 to 40 cm (4 to 16 inches) deep. Under the snow is the harvest of 2017 … A real disaster.  MORE

  1. We had to alter our road trip around Montana because of the snowstorm. Planned to go from Kalispell to Great Falls and Fort Benton but the winter storm watch became a warning. 6-8 inches became 10-14 inches plus high winds and blowing snow. Got to stay in Bozeman an extra day…and since we didn’t get to see what we wanted in Great Falls it’s just another reason to go back! 😊❤️👍
