Video from Tuesday shows the aftermath of a huge snowstorm that hit the eastern coast of Sakhalin Island, dumping over a yard of snow across the city and up to two yards in some places. Locals had to make their way through huge snowdrifts with blizzard winds whipping their faces while trudging through knee-deep snow. A few thrill-seeking residents flipping backwards off cars and even jumped off balconies into piles of white fluffy snow in a sport they called 'extreme diving.'
Drone footage captured the moment as an unidentied snowboarder daredevil in St. Petersburg, Russia ripped through the Russian cultural capital's famed Palace Square on Thursday towed by car, cruising through the snow around the famous Alexander Column. Heavy snowfall in St. Petersburg made it all possible as nearly nine inches of snow fell on the city, causing major traffic problems in the northern city of over 6 million inhabitants. The young man was pulled by a car at high speed through the nearly-empty square at nighttime, ripping through the snowfall with tight corners and spins right in front of the Hermitage Museum. Police were watching nearby, making sure that no harm came to the snowboarder or any of Saint Petersburg's cultural landmarks.
The first snow of the winter blankets the armoured vehicle-tracked roads in east Ukraine's frontline Donetsk region as the conflict with Russia drags on. Winter snow, mud and ice are expected to force a lull in Ukraine's months-long counteroffensive to retake territory occupied by Moscow's forces. IMAGES
