Southern Russia overwhelmed with purple snow

The very morning following the widely celebrated Woman’s Day – people in Southern Russia could not believe their eyes when they found purple snow piled on city streets.

Scientists confirmed a multi-coloured snowfall – ranging from light purple to brown – had landed in Russia’s Stavropol Region.

Experts are still baffled, saying they need a day to analyse the snow, while environmentalists claim high pollution levels in Stavropol caused the event.

A similar incident took place some years ago in Russia’s Far East, though climatologists say this was caused by a dust-storm mixing with snow in the clouds.
