Mikhail Leus, a leading specialist at the Phobos Weather Center, reported on October 11 that the first snow in Moscow this year could fall much later than the long-term average. According to him, in the 21st century, the average date of the first snowfall in the capital falls on October 18, and temporary snow cover usually forms by November 3, but this year there is a high probability of a later onset of both phenomena.
