Authorities across China have launched emergency response measures to guarantee the operation of transportation and ensure people's uninterrupted lives in response to the latest cold wave and snow.
On Sunday morning, China's National Meteorological Center renewed an orange alert for snow storms, the second-most severe level in its four-tier color-coded weather warning system, in some regions of the country.
From Sunday morning to Monday morning, heavy snow will hit parts of Henan Province in central China, and Anhui, Jiangsu, and Shandong provinces in eastern China. Additionally, freezing rain is expected to affect parts of southwest China's Guizhou Province, central China's Hunan and Hubei provinces, and east China's Jiangxi and Anhui provinces during this period.
Henan Province in central China maintained its yellow alert for blizzards in the morning, with expectations of heavy snowfall in cities like Zhoukou, Zhumadian, Nanyang, and Xinyang.
In the province's Xuchang City, local traffic police authorities have intensified nighttime road inspections. They have also provided essential supplies to drivers and passengers stranded in service areas and arranged the continuous operation of ice-melting and snow-removal vehicles.
