A FREEZING cold front swept over much of northern China
on Sunday with snowstorms snarling traffic and air travel, while some
of the coldest temperatures in decades were forecast for coming days.
Gale-force winds sweeping down from Siberia could result in
temperatures as low as minus 16 degrees in the capital today, the
Beijing meteorological station said.
Such temperatures are believed to be the coldest in the capital in 40 years.
Yesterday, major highways in Beijing and Tianjin, as well as in the
surrounding provinces and regions of Hebei, Shanxi and Inner Mongolia
were closed due to the heavy snowfall.
