Office of National Disaster Prevention, Mitigation and Relief Committee: Video conference on low temperature, rain, snow and freezing disasters
Yesterday (20th) afternoon, the Office of the National Disaster Prevention, Mitigation and Relief Committee and the Emergency Management Department discussed and dispatched the prevention and response of cold wave, rain and snow weather in the central and eastern regions, and held a special video conference on low-temperature rain, snow and freezing disasters.
63,000 people are prepared to sweep the snow, and it is recommended to travel at the wrong peak.
Yesterday evening, there was snowfall in Beijing.
The environmental sanitation department of Beijing started the snow sweeping and deicing work overnight to ensure the safe travel of the people.
Headquarters reporter Gao Xue:Due to the influence of strong cold air before, the snow will not melt in a short time after falling to the ground, so that the thickness of the snow will accumulate rapidly in just a few hours. For example, the snow around me, from 5: 00 pm to 11: 00 pm, has reached the depth of half a palm, about 7-8 cm, which also brings us difficulty in sweeping snow and deicing overnight.
Yang Jinliang, Second Investigator of Environmental Sanitation Department of Beijing Municipal Management Committee:At present, the amount of snow in this snowfall is uneven, showing that it is larger in the south and smaller in the north, and the south has reached the magnitude of blizzard. At present, the city has invested 63,000 people and about 7,630 vehicles.
The snow sweeping and deicing work started overnight in this round is based on the principle of mechanical snow sweeping, supplemented by manual snow sweeping, and scientific use of snow melting agent. Snow removal equipment such as spreader, snow shovel and roller brush are used to carefully implement the combined operation. According to the changes of snowfall in real time, we will focus on snow sweeping and ice shoveling in main roads, hospitals, subway stations, overpasses and other areas. In addition, the Beijing Meteorological Bureau also issued a yellow warning of road icing last night, advising citizens to travel at wrong peaks and advocating taking public transportation.

Snow graupel appears in many places in Shanxi, which is a kind of solid snowfall.
In addition to snowfall these two days, another form of "snow" has fallen in Shanxi. This kind of "snow" is not the same as usual, like snow, like hail, and many netizens wrote articles describing it as "like monosodium glutamate or fertilizer", "like salt" and "a bit like plastic foam" …
In this regard, the Meteorological Observatory of Yangquan City, Shanxi Province explained that these small particles in the air are called graupel, which is a kind of solid snowfall. They are small ice particles condensed by water vapor in the high air when it meets cold air, and they often appear before or during the snowfall. In different areas, there are names such as Mi Xue, Xue Yue and Xue Zi.
