Strong snowfall will continue to slam northeastern China in the
next 10 days, and a cold front will cut temperatures in the
northern area and bring powerful winds around March 10, China
Youth Daily reported today.
The strongest snowstorm in 56 years began sweeping northeast
China's Liaoning Province since last Saturday and lasted for days,
disrupting air and road traffic.
Qin Dahe, chief of the China Meteorological Administration, said
yesterday that the snowstorm formed when this year's especially
active warm air current encountered a cold front.
The next cold front won't be as strong as the former, or the
severity of the snowfall, said Ren Guoyu, a researcher of the
administration.
In the next few days, southern China areas will encounter more
rainy days.
