Snow Disrupts Air, Highway Travel in N. China
Adjust font size:
Heavy snowfall in many parts of north

China on Saturday night and Sunday caused some airports to close temporarily and affected highway traffic with many Chinese on their way home after their Spring Festival holidays.

 

About 1,000 passengers were stranded at Taoxian International Airport in Shenyang, Liaoning Province, when it closed at 8 AM Sunday in heavy snow.

 

By 10 AM, five outbound and 20 inbound flights had been delayed, with snow continuing to fall, airport sources said.

 

One person was seriously wounded and three slightly injured after the roof of a farm produce market collapsed under the weight of the snow in Huanggu District, Shenyang, Sunday morning.

 

Nine out of 11 expressways in the province have been closed, according to provincial authorities. Only certain stretches of two expressways were still open.

 

More than 1,000 municipal vehicles took to the Shenyang streets to clear the snow.

 

By Sunday noon, snow had been falling continuously in Shenyang for 10 hours and winds were gusting at up to 40 kilometers per hour.

 

At the Beijing Capital International Airport, more than 200 flights were delayed by 1 PM Sunday due to snowfall, airport sources said. Strong winds were forecast in Beijing Sunday evening.

 

 

Binhai International Airport in Tianjin was closed at 7 AM Sunday and more than 20 flights have been delayed, according to airport sources.

 

Expressways through the city were also shut down. The city reported 25 to 32 millimeters of rain and snow by Sunday morning.

 

Baita Airport in Hohhot, capital of Inner Mongolia, had to be shut down between 6 PM Saturday and 6 a.m. Sunday as 20 centimeters of snow fell in the region.

 

The central meteorological observatory is forecasting rain for most parts of north China over the next two days.

 

Meteorologists said the rain and snow, the heaviest this winter, would help alleviate a severe drought which has plagued many parts of north China in the past few months.
