According to subscribers to the channel, the city for the second day almost paralyzed - people have difficulty getting to work in the morning, and the evening of December 26 Petersburgers were urged to leave the car and use the subway. Traffic jams of eight points did not dissipate until late in the evening.

Monday was snowless, while on December 27 the snowfall returned to the city. With roads and pedestrian spaces unlikely to be cleared before evening, traffic jams risk breaking all records and traffic conditions will be very difficult. As of 12:00 p.m. Tuesday, there were only 462 snowplows on the line and another 229 on duty.

Since the morning of December 27, the city declared a "yellow" level of weather danger due to the strong wind - gusts up to 11 meters per second.
