Ah! I heard it was going to snow heavily! This time it was the most violent rain and snow this winter, and it also muddied the waters for the Spring Festival. It is said that the rain and snow this time were widespread and long-lasting, and one of the characteristics was that the freezing rain was everywhere and the amount of precipitation was quite extreme. From the perspective of time, it is just in time for the critical period of the Spring Festival, which is really unlucky!
Not only the daily precipitation and cumulative precipitation may set a new record, but also the snowfall in southern Shaanxi, southern North China, northern Huanghuai, Hubei, northern Chongqing, eastern Liaoning, eastern Jilin and other places can reach a staggering 10 to 25 mm, and some places may even exceed 30 mm! And the snow cover will also break through 10 to 20 centimeters, and in some areas it may exceed 25 centimeters, which is simply too extreme!
This rare rain and snow weather is not a joke, the snowfall intensity in a single day is large, the time is still long, and the accumulated snowfall is even more unstoppable, which will have a great impact on the Spring Festival travel! The entire transportation network will become congested, so you should be mentally prepared in advance! Also, can you not make trouble for yourself? Remember to dress warmly when you go out, don't catch a cold, and be sure to keep warm! Especially if you are traveling by car, you must be careful of snow, ice and slippery on the road, and don't cause traffic accidents! Safety first is the key to reach the destination safely.
This time is different from 2008, there are two key differences. The first is the duration, the low temperature rain and snow freezing weather in 2008 was tossed for nearly a month, and this time the rain and snow process lasted less than a week, and the cumulative snow was not so much. The intensity and scope of the rain and snow this time are not as fierce as in 2008. The second is the temperature problem, 2008 was a real low temperature rain and snow freezing, the temperature in the southern region is 4 to 6 lower! Although there was freezing during the rain and snow this time, the temperature did not drop significantly. In addition, after 15 years of development, our ability to forecast and predict has also improved a lot, and our ability to respond to such extreme disasters has also been enhanced.
So we can rest assured that there will be no extreme disaster like 2008 this time. Of course, this widespread rain, snow and freezing weather will still have some impact on transportation, energy and agriculture. In particular, the transportation hub provinces in the central and eastern regions may be affected somewhat, and high-speed railways and highways may need to be prepared in advance to avoid delays and congestion. Power facilities should also be aware of the risk of ice and snow cover, and the energy sector needs to prepare and remove snow in advance.
So everyone should be prepared to go out! On the one hand, you should pay attention to keeping warm, don't be frozen like a popsicle by heavy snow, and be careful of catching a cold. On the other hand, you should plan your travel plans in advance to give yourself plenty of time. By the way, an interesting feature of this year's Spring Festival is that more and more people choose to travel across provinces and by car. Those who are ready to travel by car, don't take it lightly! You must always pay attention to the road conditions to prevent unexpected situations such as snow, ice, and slippery, and don't let a good journey become a big hole in traffic accidents.
In short, when you're away from home, safety is paramount! Whether you are trapped by heavy snow or traffic delays, don't be too frustrated, face these small challenges with a humorous attitude, and believe that we can all survive this rainy and snowy Spring Festival safely! Remember to bring a good mood and a warm coat to warm up the cold!
