According to the Associated Press, traffic congestion in Moscow reached a record-high—the busiest it was all years.
Several cabinet ministers were stuck in traffic and were late or unable to attend the last meeting of the year.
The disruption in the city was unusual, as even with snowstorms, Moscow carries on with business as usual.
