Winter will be the worst in 200 years. Forecasters said what to prepare for
Meteorologists explained why the coming frosts are not the main problem. We are waiting for an ice storm, weather “swings” and a serious load on utilities.

Climate scientists are sounding the alarm: the winter from December 2026 to February 2027 will be a serious test. But the fear is not abnormal frosts, and unprecedented temperature instability. Persistent cold will have to wait a long time, and when they come, each new atmospheric front will be felt much sharper.
The peak of this weather chaos is forecast for January. Experts compare the situation with the “roller coaster”: the day the thermometer can show plus and wet snow, and after a couple of hours the column will collapse 20-25 degrees down. Such an extreme drop will inevitably create a solid ice crust on the roads, especially in the western regions, turning the streets into a dangerous skating rink.
Geographical imbalances are also expected with precipitation. Some areas can meet the spring with almost no snow, while others will be covered by powerful cyclones that can roll out the monthly rate in just a couple of days. This will put a huge burden on rescuers and utilities.
How to prepare and minimize risks?
For motorists: change tires for winter now. The roadway will turn from wet asphalt into an ice trap at lightning speed.
Meteodependent: cardiologists strongly advise to keep blood pressure under strict control. Sharp temperature jumps are a direct and dangerous blow to the vessels.
• All the rest: get shoes with an anti-slip sole, be extremely careful on the street and treat with understanding the possible interruptions in the housing and communal services.
