Russia Has Some Crazy Weather and This Account Proves It

I was lucky enough to visit Russia back in 2003. It was fascinating, frustrating, and I really took in all the country had to offer because I knew that was probably a once-in-a-lifetime trip.

Also, IT WAS IN FEBRUARY. IN RUSSIA.

So, as you can probably imagine, it was freezing, there was ice on the ground everywhere, and we had to keep an eye out for enormous icicles that fell from rooftops when we walked around (seriously).

Bottom line: Russia has some crazy weather. And this Twitter account shares all the good stuff so those of us who live on the other side of the planet can keep up with what’s going on over there.

Let’s take a look!

1. Ugh. No thank you.

You probably can’t drive that thing for a few days…at least.

2. Get a load of the ice flowers.

They are very pretty!

3. Wow! These photos don’t even look real.

Also, I didn’t know they had volcanoes in Russia.

4. One huge thunderstorm.

Perfect timing on this shot.

5. Behold the sun halo.

Have you ever seen one of these?

6. The biggest hail I’ve ever laid my eyes on.

Can’t imagine the damage it did.

7. The world is on fire.

Look at the colors!

8. Those are really beautiful.

They sort of look like bomb blasts.

9. A stormy night.

Good timing on the photos.

10. Buried by snow.

This just looks miserable.

11. And back to the pretty stuff.

I guess these make the snow more bearable.

Well, that was weird…

How about you?

Account Shares the Strange Weather That Russia Experiences

If you live in Louisiana or Oklahoma or some other place, you might think that you deal with the most extreme weather on the planet.

But I think that Russia might have those places and a bunch of other spots on the globe beat when it comes to crazy weather events.

Russia is absolutely enormous, so its people deal with every kind of climate imaginable…and, by the looks of the photos you’re about to see, it gets pretty wild over there.

Let’s see what’s going on weather-wise on the far side of the world.

1. Whoa! A waterspout!

You don’t see that every day.

2. The electric sky.

Be careful out there…

3. Have you ever seen such a thing?

I’ve never even heard of a Sun Halo.

4. It’s really coming down!

That doesn’t look like much fun.

5. Freezing rain all over the place.

I bet this was not fun to deal with.

6. Now that is cold!

Everyone is better off just staying inside.

7. Have you ever seen The Thing?

This reminds me of that movie.

8. That is very beautiful.

That might even be alarming to see that in the sky.

9. This is pretty cool.

A perfect ice circle.

10. Here it comes!

You better take cover!

11. Extreme blizzard conditions.

So glad I don’t have to deal with this kind of weather.

Now we want to hear from you out there.

Have you ever been to Russia before?

This Social Media Account Shares the Weirdest Weather in Russia

I can think of few places I’d rather NOT be during the winter than Russia.

Just thinking about the word “Siberia” makes my feet cold.

And when you look at photos of everyday Russian people, a lot of them look pretty…well, not incredibly happy all the time. And I think at least some of that has to do with the crazy and terrible weather those folks deal with year in and year out.

I don’t have any scientific data to back this up, it’s just my hunch…

Let’s take a look at photos of some wild weather that’s going on over in Russia.

1. Magical light pillars.

I’ve never seen something like that before.

2. How about some Lenticular clouds.

Look! Up in the sky!

3. Get a load of these frost flowers.

They’re actually very beautiful.

4. The geometry of frost.

That looks like plastic. Doesn’t look real.

5. A complex sun halo.

Cool! I need to read up on these!

6. They have volcanoes in Russia?

I had no idea!

7. That just looks like a nightmare.

How do you even begin to get the ice off?

8. Beautiful light pillars.

I wonder what causes these?

9. That’s pretty scary!

I’ve heard this happens from time to time.

10. Looks like something you might see in the Midwest.

There’s a twister coming!

11. It’s very pretty, isn’t it?

Feels like you’re at the end of the world.

12. That is stunning!

I love it!
