HARBIN, Dec. 19 (Xinhua) — The meteorological department of Northeast China's Heilongjiang Province issued a red alert, the highest level in China's four-level system, on Friday for a snowstorm.
In the nine hours leading up to the 11:45 a.m. warning, up to 18.3 mm of snow fell on some farms in Wudalianchi and Nenjiang. An additional 6 to 8 mm of snowfall is expected in both cities over the next three hours, bringing the total snowfall over the 12-hour period to over 20 mm, with a thickness of 15 to 25 cm.
Heavy snowfall will be accompanied by strong winds reaching 17.1 meters per second, which will significantly reduce visibility, local authorities said, warning of the possible negative impact of ice and snow on road traffic. -0-
