A thick fog descended on Moscow in the morning. In it "sinked" high-rises, "hidden" city tracks. The traffic police asked drivers and pedestrians to be careful when driving around the city.

“Keep your distance. In the fog, distances are distorted - objects appear farther away. Slow down. Choose the pace for real visibility. Don't get distracted by the phone. Any loss of attention can cost too much, the report said.

About the deterioration of weather conditions in Moscow warned in the capital Department of Emergencies.

"In the period from 16:00 on October 15 with preservation until 10:00 on October 16, fog with visibility of 200-700m is expected in places in Moscow," the ministry said.

Earlier, forecaster Mikhail Leus told RBC that the first snow in Moscow may fall in the third decade of October, and the leading specialist of the Meteonovsti portal Tatiana Pozdnyakova admitted that snow or wet snow will go in early November.
