Grey and beige colored snow fell in several areas of the Russia's southeastern city of Samara on the New Year's eve, a spokesman for the local branch of the Emergencies Ministry said on Sunday.
Experts believe that the anomaly was caused by sandstorm from Kazakhstan as the colored snow contained mixture of clay and sand. The snow does not threaten the health of the residents of Samara, the spokesman said.
