Cold War: How Moscow gets rid of snow - BBC News

Snow storms have hit central Russia this week, including the capital Moscow, where nearly half the January norm fell in just one day. The BBC's Moscow correspondent Steve Rosenberg braved the cold to see how the authorities have been coping with all that snow.

This is the first ever positive story BBC has ever done on Russia woo am sure it was a mistake..

[callumlangley]

Puts the topic of "Cold War" with Russia.


Clever girl.

I can't belive my eyes, BBC showed Russia without stupid propoganda. Clap clap clap.

[locojambo]

If London got 1% of that snow the whole of the U.K. would be in chaos

In USA and Canada we have zalotiye ruchkie ( golden hands ) it’s the tax collectors. And those golden hands work just like the Russian ones except they go through your pockets, and clean them out nice and thorough.

Call MR. PLOW, that’s my name, that name again is MR.PLOW

Love how the truck horn plays the first two notes of 'I can't get no satisfaction'.

this snow is then mixed with sewage and pumped into the Moscow River... Where it is then used to make Popov vodka...

Thank you BBC for answering a question that no one in the history of humanity cared enough to ask. On the plus side, straight forward reporting of facts. (for a change)

I'm no "snowologist", but I'm pretty sure that's how you remove snow from the highway, in more or less any winter country.

Imagine the number of *lost mobile phones* that got destroyed by this machine @1:11

[Jakelc]

In Canada we make a big mountain of it which becomes all black and dirty, lasting well into the summer before finally melting away

[SanaSamaha]

Looks like the snow plows you see on Canadian highways.

one snowflake causes the british to have a mental breakdown, but others countries are soo productive and relaxed about such things

[burnzy]

i feel like that last place is the end of the road for more than just snow in russia

[figeon]

I love how the british are amazed by something as mundane as a snowplough.

[СанШингаля]

I have always desire to visit Russia. Specially in Bone freezing cold winter where I can see such snow fall.
Love to die for snow

[vippsmillennial]

0:45 that is by far the coolest machine ever!

[rayhanes]

This is what you get when your tax dollars are put to work. Why doesn't every major city that has snow have this?

[wotan]

I sort of guessed it. Here in Montreal, where there's also a lot of snow, it is dumped to the St. Lawrence. Nature take care the rest.
