Snowfall Blankets East Kazakhstan Region
Scoop on Snowy East Kazakhstan!
Yo, listen up! Snow has been blanketing the breathtaking landscapes of East Kazakhstan region, as confirmed by Almaty.tv, quoting Tengrinews.kz. Here's the lowdown:
In the chilly midnight hours, snowflakes descended on the Katon-Karagay and Kurcumin districts, as well as near Ridder city. Social media is buzzing with vids and pics from folks who danced with the dancing snowflakes! A local shared a video stating a whopping 12 cm of snow covered the stunning Markakol Nature Reserve by dawn!
Mountains about Ridder couldn't resist, either—Mount Prohodnaya (1860 meters above sea level) is now a winter wonderland, with snow covering the road and surrounding pines.
The weather experts at RGP "Kazhydromet" corroborate this winter extravaganza, but it's usually a bit late for snowstorms in the mountainous districts of East Kazakhstan. But, as they say, every rule's got its exceptions!
"Only the Markakol Nature Reserve precipitation stations caught rain turning into snow. Elsewhere in the region, snow was spare. However, it did snow in the Katon-Karagay and Kurcumin districts, as well as near Ridder. I can't quantify the snowfall as we don't have weather stations in the mountains," explained Dinara Zhilibaeva, a resourceful duty meteorologist at RGP "Kazhydromet".
A heads-up, East Kazakhstan weather loyalists—the coming days aren't expected to heat up! Instead, brace yourself for a temperature drop and gale-force winds.
