Moscow is usually remains covered with snow in December and the government spends millions to remove it. But this year the tables have turned. The government is actually bringing in artificial snow for the revellers in the city. Fake snow has been dumped in several areas in Moscow including Tverskaya, Red Square and other locations.

Artificial snow that has been dumped on Moscow streets were made from ice available at skating rinks in the Russian capital.
