Northeast blizzard with the thickest snow reaching nearly 1 meter

Under the attack of fierce snowfall, the snow accumulation in many places in Northeast China has become quite deep. For example, in Anshan, which experienced a super heavy snowstorm today, the Anshan Meteorological Station recorded a snow thickness of 34 centimeters, which has exceeded the Lantern Festival snowstorm in 2007.

Snowfall causes snow accumulation up to 1 meter deep

In fact, due to the wind and snow and terrain, the snow accumulation on the windward side and in the small ditch terrain may be close to or exceed 1 meter. In addition to Anshan, Shenyang and other places also saw quite deep snow. Some netizens in Kangping, Shenyang have recorded deep snow accumulation of more than 30 centimeters on the road. There have even been reports in some areas that snow has collapsed farmers' markets and smashed many vehicles.

Blizzard opens walking mode for the entire city

On November 8, the snow on the road was very thick, and there was no traffic, only pedestrians coming and going. It is reported that the incident happened in Anshan City, Liaoning Province, at around 7 am on the 8th. Snow had been falling all night. Because there was no public transportation, many citizens had to walk to get to work.

What’s even more exaggerated is that some citizens were skiing on the street in ski suits, and commentators jokingly said that northerners really know how to have fun and this way of traveling is unique.

Walking to work because of the snow

A merchant in Tiexi District described that the thickest snow on the ground was over 30 centimeters, almost up to his knees, making it difficult to walk. It usually takes him 10 minutes to commute to the store, but today he walked for 40 minutes. However, he saw sanitation workers shoveling snow on the road, so he believed that the difficulties were only temporary.
