Expressways shut down. Living vehicles stranded. The continuous snowfall in Handan City of North China's Hebei province cost icy road conditions. Local authorities have adopted various measures to minimize the impact of the snowfall and ice on traffic while sanitation workers have been removing snow since early morning. Traffic administrative authorities dispatched teams direct the traffic and ease the congestion.
We've deployed more police at expressway junctions, especially on provincial highways with heavy traffic. We've also dispatched more mobile patrols to help travelers with emergencies and ensure their return journeys are safe.
Some 13 expressways in 80 tool stations and east China's Shandong province were also closed or under tighter control on Sunday after the heavy snowfall caused treacherous road conditions. Despite the inconvenience, for some, the heavy snow seems to be good news as it also brought picturesque views turning the city into a fairy land. After the snowfall on Tuesday, the Forbidden City in Beijing are presenting amazing winter view, attracting thousands of visitors. There's an old Chinese saying that a timely snow promises a good harvest. Hopefully, the heavy snowfall blows well for the year of the pick.
