<p>Russia's capital city Moscow, which is known for its bone-chilling winter, has brought artificial snow for decorations ahead of the New Year's Eve.</p>

<p>Moscow is witnessing one of its warmest winters in December since temperatures began getting recorded 140 years ago. The government is sending trucks filled with artificial snow for decorating a new year display in the city centre. &nbsp;</p>

<p>In one of Moscow's main avenues, a strip of snow is laid.&nbsp;</p>

<p>The bringing of artificial snow has amused social media users as ironically the city traditionally calls in trucks to remove snow.&nbsp;</p>
