Kamchatka: The Kamchatka Peninsula in Russia's Far East has been hit by its heaviest snowfall in more than 60 years, with massive snow accumulation burying buildings and vehicles under several meters of snow.

According to Thai News Agency, Russian weather stations reported that over 2 meters of snow accumulated in the first half of January, following a record 3.7 meters of snow that fell in December.

News footage captured the challenging conditions faced by residents, with many vehicles completely covered by snow, rendering them invisible. Even four-wheel drive vehicles had difficulty navigating the snowdrifts, with some areas becoming entirely impassable. In response, residents came together to clear paths to and from their homes, shoveling snow to create essential walkways.

Local Russian media also shared footage of people walking atop snow piles reaching the height of traffic lights. Snow walls several meters high lined the roadsides, formed by efforts to clear streets and ensure traffic flow.
