From night to Friday around 600 thousand. The city, which had a population, began to be frustrated by freezing rains, when a cyclone bringing warm air collided with an anticyclone bringing cold air, said Boris Kubajus, an official with the local weather service.

According to him, the ice sheet formed in some areas was 12 millimeters thick, a phenomenon that had not been seen in the region for the past 30 years.

Many trees and power poles were felled in Vladivostok, and the government of the Primorea region declared a state of emergency.

“The electricity supply situation is still very difficult, the scale of the destruction is extensive,” said Yelena Parchamenko, deputy director of the regional administration.

According to her, the restoration of electricity supply can take “several days”.

Photos and videos posted to local government and social media show everything covered in ice, from apartment buildings to road signs and public transportation.

Surveillance camera video shows a driver wanting to clear the ice from the windshield, pulling away from his car at the last second, collapsing a slab of concrete sliding from the side of the building.
