About
Tracking the onset of winter in the Moscow region over six decades provides critical insights into climatic shifts and atmospheric patterns. By documenting the arrival of the first snowfall, the initial appearance of snow on the ground, and the formation of the season's first lasting snow cover, the records offer a valuable baseline for meteorological research. This longitudinal perspective is essential for assessing weather predictability and identifying long-term trends in northern climates, helping researchers evaluate the statistical significance of deviations from historical norms.
Columns
- first_snow: The date, recorded in DD.MM.YYYY format, marking the very first snowfall of the season.
- snow_cover: The date on which the first snow cover of the season was observed, indicating when snow stayed on the ground for the first time.
- stable_snow_cover: The date identifying when the snow cover became stable, remaining on the ground for a sustained period.
Distribution
The information is delivered in a CSV file titled
moscow_snow.csv with a compact file size of 2.08 kB. It comprises 60 valid records representing six decades of annual observations across 3 columns. The data exhibits high integrity with a 100% validity rate and no missing or mismatched entries, earning it a maximum usability score of 10.00. This is a static resource with no future updates expected.Usage
This collection is ideal for conducting time-series analysis to identify periodic patterns in snowfall and for testing hypotheses related to global warming by observing historical shifts in dates. Analysts can use the records to build predictive models for stable snow cover based on the timing of the first snowfall. Furthermore, the data supports the creation of climate visualisations and provides a structured foundation for practicing data manipulation with time-based libraries.
Coverage
The geographic scope is limited to the Moscow region. Temporally, the data spans sixty years of observations from 1946 to 2005. The records offer full annual coverage for this period, documenting the specific transition points of each winter season without interruption.

Who Can Use It
Climatologists and meteorologists can leverage these metrics to validate weather models and study shifts in winter onset in Eastern Europe. Data science students can utilise the consistent time-series format to practice forecasting and trend analysis using specialised programming libraries. Additionally, environmental researchers and historians can reference the specific dates to provide context for historical weather events or to assess long-term changes in the region's winter environment.
