May 2 in Krasnoyarsk, it began to snow. Snow went all night, in the morning instead of cars parked in yards, were snowdrifts. Dropped about 25 cm at a monthly rate of 48 centimeters of precipitation. And this is after a 30-degree heat.

Motorists, who had time to "re-bob" means of transportation, went to work on public transport. There was a lot of traffic accidents, but there were not any big ones.. In the morning 26 messages were received by the dispatch service, 14 of them - complaints about sagging and breakage of electric wires. The cause of the cliff was the fall of trees and twigs on the wires. On the street Kopylova under the weight of the sticking snow bent column. However, the May snow also became a tradition. Last year the most powerful snowfall occurred in Krasnoyarsk on May 9.

At night due to heavy snowfall on the M-54 and R-257 it was necessary to limit traffic. Movement was hampered by poor visibility, fallen trees, snowdrifts. In the famous "Stolby" reserve, under the weight of snow, about two dozen trees collapsed, which made the Laletin road, which does not travel, to the reserve.

The inspectors of the reserve have made a lot of efforts to quickly eliminate the fallen trees and hanging over roads and hiking trails.

And on YouTube there was a video recording: the May departure of a young man on downhill skiing along Mira Avenue. A young extreme sportsman in a ski suit, clinging to a cable, rides down the street, jumping on drifts.

Some districts of Krasnoyarsk were left without light and water. So the emergency teams and communal workers had enough work.
