Live snow and wind on the single tundra road into Teriberka, in plain words — with the official Murmanskavtodor channels for whether the road is open or moving by convoy.

Teriberka is reached by one road across open tundra that winter storms close and reopen by escorted convoy. This page shows the snow and wind on that road right now — it does not tell you whether the road is open. For that, check the official channels.
No snow forecast.
No snow is forecast and little or none is lying on the road.
The Teriberka road is regularly closed by winter storms and reopened by escorted convoy. A calm forecast is not a promise the road is open.

The road crosses open, treeless tundra with no windbreaks. When the wind gets up over about 15 m/s it drives loose snow into metre-high drifts across the road faster than the plough can clear, and Murmanskavtodor closes the road ahead of the storm — reopening it by escorted convoy once the plough can get through. The exposed tundra stretch drifts worse than the sheltered village, so treat the wind here as the calm end of what the road sees.

This page shows the weather, not whether the road is open
Whether the road is open, closed, or moving only in an escorted convoy is decided by Murmanskavtodor, the regional road authority — not by this page. Their dispatcher answers +7 (8152) 21-40-70. Always check the official channels below before you set out; this page only shows the weather. Whether the road is actually open or closed is an official decision, not something this page can tell you. Check the channels below before you set out.
When the weather lets the plough through but the road is not safe to drive alone, traffic moves in an escorted convoy led by a snowplough — about 90 km at 50–70 km/h, roughly three hours. You wait at the barrier for the convoy to form, then follow the plough and do not overtake it.
In February 2026 a blizzard and a broken loader trapped roughly 2,000 tourists and about 200 vehicles for several days. More than 1,500 people slept in the House of Culture, the school and local businesses; some waited 14 hours in the convoy queue. The lesson from every account: do not drive into a forecast storm on worn tyres — if a storm is coming, wait it out in Murmansk.
If you get caught out
Carry warm clothes, food, water, a charged phone and a full tank whenever you drive this road in winter. Follow the convoy, keep your distance, and never try to pass the plough. If you are stopped, stay with your vehicle.
