Armenia’s chief hydrometeorologist Gagik Surenyan has recalled the heavy snowfall recorded in Yerevan on November 1, 2016.
Globalinfo.az reports that he shared an archive photo on his social media account in this regard.
“Heavy snow fell in Yerevan on November 1, 2016,” the meteorologist noted.
It should be recalled that the first snowfall of the season was observed in the Armenian capital that day. According to local media, snow began falling in the city’s elevated areas in the morning of November 1, and the precipitation later spread to the central and other parts of Yerevan.
According to the Armenian press, the intensive snowfall, which continued on November 2 as well, caused a number of problems in the city. Tree branches broke, and some trees fell onto roads and cars. Power lines were damaged, and relevant services were mobilized to clear the roads.
The snowfall was recorded not only in Yerevan but also in other regions of Armenia. It was reported that the snow cover in the Gegharkunik Province reached a thickness of 7-10 centimeters.
Thus, the first days of November 2016 were remembered in the Armenian capital and a number of regions for the early arrival of winter.
