CNN)At least one person has died and five have been injured as Moscow endures its heaviest snowfall in more than 60 years. More than 850 flights were either canceled or postponed, according to local media RBC. The Ministry of Emergency Situations confirmed that 2,000 trees fell overnight in the Russian capital. The snowfall broke a Moscow record set in 1957, authorities said. "One person died from a falling tree that hit an electric power line," Moscow Mayor Sergi Sobyanin said in a tweet. "According to the latest data, there are five victims. Be careful."

Based on the title, I was expecting 3 or 4 feet of snow.

The Russian capital recorded 22 centimeters (8.6 inches) of snow Sunday -- more than half of its monthly average snowfall. The figure will rise to 47 centimeters (18.5 inches) by the end of Monday, deputy mayor of Moscow Petr Biryukov said.

I expected much higher totals. Too far inland thus too dry to get much in Moscow I suppose.

Liberals: When we say global warming we mean snow in all 50 states and record snowfall in places all over the world.

If the monthly average is 16 inches, it doesn;'t seem like 8" would be the record...

I'm surprised Moscow would have trouble with less than a foot of snow.

19 inches in 48 hours in a place that averages 16 total for the month is devastating.
