MOSCOW,

125 miles
When a snowstorm hit Russia in late November 2012, the line of cars on Highway M-10, which stretches between Moscow and St. Petersburg, came to a standstill that lasted for three days.
According to CNN, stalled drivers reported that cafes along the route were ratcheting up prices. The government's Emergencies Ministry set up tents along the highway that offered tables of warm food and drink and psychological support for those who were having trouble muddling through days of gridlock.
