“Snow is being removed in Moscow, but under natural conditions, in open areas, in the Moscow region, the snow will melt in the first ten days of April. It can linger in the forests until mid-month,” he said.
He also pointed out that when it snows, the air temperature drops.
“If there were no snow right now, the temperature would be about 3-5 degrees higher,” added the meteorologist.
It is noted that this is due to the fact that snow reflects up to 80% of the sun’s rays, so in winter the soil does not heat up and does not transfer heat.
