The Russian city of Norilsk has been buried in snow for a week, having been hit with blizzards in what has been called a "snowpocalypse."

Authorities have had to remove around 400,000 tons of snow from Norilsk which is Russia's most northern city and lies 300 kilometers inside the Arctic Circle.

Despite the freezing conditions and wind hitting speeds of 90 km/h it hasn't stopped people having fun.
