Recently, many places across the country have ushered in a wide range of rain and snow, especially in Hubei, central and western Hunan and central and northern Anhui. Such weather conditions have undoubtedly brought a lot of trouble to the ongoing Spring Festival. Why is it that in this widespread rain and snow, thick snow is common in the north, while freezing rain occurs in the south? Let's uncover the mystery behind this weather phenomenon together.
First of all, we need to understand that the formation of rain and snow is closely related to temperature. Generally, precipitation comes in the form of rain when the temperature is above 0; When the temperature is below 0, precipitation comes in the form of snow. Freezing rain, on the other hand, is a phenomenon in which precipitation freezes rapidly when it touches the ground or other objects when the temperature is slightly above 0.
During this widespread rain and snow, the temperature in the north was generally low, so the precipitation came in the form of snow, forming a thick layer of snow. Whereas the temperature in the south is slightly above 0, and the precipitation freezes quickly when it touches the ground or other objects, forming freezing rain. That's why thick snow is common in the north and freezing rain in the south.
In addition, this large-scale rain and snow weather has also brought a lot of troubles to the ongoing Spring Festival. Rainy and snowy weather leads to slippery roads and reduced visibility, which brings great hidden dangers to driving safety. Therefore, the majority of returning passengers are reminded that when traveling in rainy and snowy weather, they must pay attention to safety, slow down, keep a safe distance, and try to avoid driving at night. At the same time, you should also pay attention to the weather forecast, arrange the itinerary reasonably, and try to avoid traveling in bad weather.
Although the rain and snow have brought a lot of troubles to the Spring Festival, we believe that as long as we are fully prepared and obey the traffic rules, we will be able to get home smoothly and celebrate the New Year safely. Because home is our warmest harbor and our deepest concern. No matter what the weather, it couldn't stop us from going home.
Finally, let us wish everyone on the way home to be able to get home smoothly and celebrate the New Year safely! May we all be reunited with our families and share the joy of reunion this Spring Festival!
