> We have that. 2cm snow falls then everything goes to hui, news outlets talk about catastrophic weather conditions, service providers announce the bad weather came unexpected. Every year.
It also same there, snow always came unexpected (in Russia, yes). Although this time it was really large amount of snow, so collapse is justified. Public transit that not use roads (trams, trains) is ok though.
Situation was especially surprising because last winter was almost snowless, and previous ones were mild.

Heavy wind. Without it there would be ever more snow.
