Russian Avalanche Destroys Carpark

The rapid flow of snow hit the parking lot at the foot of Mount Elbrus in the North Caucasus republic of Kabardino-Balkaria. The massive avalanche came down on the vehicles, possibly damaging them beyond repair. Luckily, the snow stopped before hitting any major infrastructure, and the emergency services said that they haven’t received any reports of people hurt.

Learned something new today... never knew that heavy (wet?) snow could move so slowly, like a viscous fluid. Had always figured on the more violent, rapid cascades down hillsides and mountain slopes. Thanks for the post.
