What impact has the rare icy rain in Jilin had on the lives of urban residents?

On November 19, a freezing rain hit Jilin unexpectedly. In Changchun, the capital of Jilin Province, a night of icy rain combined with heavy snowfall throughout the day caused widespread tree damage in streets and alleys, blocking many two-section traffic.

At around 7 o'clock in the morning, the special service brigade of the Jilin Provincial Forest Fire Corps received an alarm call from the Northern Greening Center for help. The trees on both sides of the Jingyuetan Second Ring Road and the main road in the Jingyuetan Forest Zone in Changchun City were frozen due to overnight freezing rain. Many branches were bent under the load, causing traffic jams and affecting people's travel. The disaster was an order, and the brigade immediately dispatched 40 commanders and soldiers, carrying more than 80 pieces (sets) of equipment such as road rescue and electric chainsaws to the scene to carry out rescue and clean-up tasks. Currently, the commanders and fighters of the brigade are still clearing road sections in the snow, and some roads have been cleared. ?

Recently, most places across the country have experienced a round of cooling, and Jilin Province has also encountered an extremely rare ice rain recently, which just proves the lyrics: cold and cold The icy rain patted my face randomly! So what is ice rain? Why is it said to be rare? Is this kind of rain rare? What serious impacts will it have? Let’s take you through the details of Jilin’s rare icy rain.

Ice rain is a natural phenomenon that occurs when winter and spring alternate. When the surface temperature is below zero degrees Celsius, the rain falls to the ground and turns into ice. A natural phenomenon that occurs at the turn of winter and spring. When spring arrives but the cold current has not receded, rain falls from the sky and turns into ice on the ground. When the surface temperature is below zero degrees Celsius, the rain falls to the ground and turns into ice. After the rain falls on the ground, it cannot collect. Together, they cannot melt with the surface, but form ice over a large area.

How is ice rain formed?

Ice rain is mostly caused by the confrontation between cold and warm air when strong cold air or cold waves arrive. When a cold front invades, the air temperature under the front and the ground temperature drop below 0°C, while the temperature above the front is above 0°C and relatively humid. Raindrops formed in the clouds above the front fall into the air and the temperature is lower than 0°C. When the air layer reaches 0℃, they can turn into supercooled raindrops. Once these supercooled raindrops fall to the ground or features with a temperature below 0℃, they will immediately freeze into ice, forming a dense, smooth, and sometimes transparent layer. Glassy ice shell.

After the ice rain falls on trees and wires whose surface temperature is below freezing point, a crystal clear ice layer immediately forms around them. At this time, the raindrops continue to fall slowly on the surface of the frozen objects. It droops and forms icicles, which are called icicles in some places. The ice hangings are in various shapes and dazzling. Famous mountains such as Lushan Mountain and Huangshan Mountain are often decorated with freezing rain in winter, making them look particularly enchanting. The winter rain on the banks of the Songhua River in Jilin is one of my country's wonders, attracting thousands of Chinese and foreign tourists every year to enjoy the scenery.

What serious impacts will freezing rain cause?

The scenery of ice rain is worth watching, but it is a kind of disastrous weather after all, and the harm it causes cannot be ignored. After the wires freeze, they shrink when exposed to cold, and under the influence of the weight of freezing rain, they will break. At times, rows of power poles were pulled down, disrupting telecommunications and power transmission. Road traffic has been hampered by icy ground and traffic accidents have increased. If the fields freeze, winter wheat that has returned to green will freeze to death, or crop seedlings sown in early spring will freeze to death. In addition, freezing rain can destroy young forests and frostbite fruit trees in large areas.
