Heavy Snowfall In China

Snow fall is blanketing several parts of northeast China’s Heilongjiang Province. The northern-most county, Mohe, is witnessing its largest snowfall in three years.

Several local roads were blocked, as the county has suffered heavy wind and snow since Friday. Bad weather also caused traffic jams and road accidents in the province’s capital, Harbin. Snow has also been falling since Friday in Heihe. The city has been hit by record snowfall since the winter.

Heavy wind and snowstorm also landed in Hulun Buir in Inner Mongolia Autonomous Region on Saturday. Over 200 vehicles and 600 people were trapped there.
However, by Sunday morning, they were all rescued and evacuated, and roads were back in operation.
