Today, January 27, in the southern regions and Crimea, forecasters promise wet snow. Wind gusts are expected to reach 17-22 meters per second, and in the Azov Sea area, in some places up to 25-30 meters per second. Wet snow sticking to wires and branches, combined with such winds, will create difficulties not only for drivers. Snow drifts, blizzards, power line breaks, falling trees, and snow sliding off roofs are possible.
Traffic police officers advise those who have the opportunity to postpone their trip to stay at home. Those who are still forced to get behind the wheel are reminded of the need to be careful, check the technical condition of the car in advance, and take additional equipment with them in case of bad weather. It is important not to exceed the speed limit and maintain a safe distance.
