3 meters of snow in 3 days, such a natural disaster has never happened on Sakhalin.

The cyclone completely cut off the island from the outside world. This week, Sakhalin on the world map has turned into one big white spot - since Monday, the island has been covered with a record amount of snow, which is seven times higher than normal. But dry numbers say nothing about how things really stand here. Just imagine that you can’t leave your house because the snowdrifts have grown taller than a person’s height and have blocked the entrance doors, and an excavator, clearing the streets, digs up SUVs.
