Winter in Linfen

? Recently, Jincheng and Changzhi in the southeast of Shanxi, Yuncheng and Linfen in the south ushered in snowfall, and roads in some areas were heavily covered with snow.

In Gaoping City, Jincheng City, Shanxi Province, and Hejin City, Yuncheng City, large-scale precipitation began to appear at noon on the 24th. At first, it was affected by cold air and turned into sleet when it landed. In the afternoon, the amount of snow gradually increased, and the goose feather-like snow fluttered in the sky, and thick snow accumulated on the ground. Many citizens took to the streets to enjoy the beautiful snow scene, and children made snowmen in the snow.

It is particularly noteworthy that on the 24th, Shanxi Meteorological Observatory issued three warnings in succession. On 24th 15, Shanxi Meteorological Observatory issued a blue warning of blizzard and a yellow warning of road icing. More than an hour later, the Shanxi Meteorological Observatory changed its mind and issued a red warning of blizzard.

Last winter and this spring, the drought in Jincheng and Yuncheng of Shanxi Province continued, which affected crop production. According to the specific weather conditions in various places, meteorological departments carry out artificial snow-increasing operations on the ground such as rockets, anti-aircraft guns and flame furnaces. At the launch site of Gulong Township, Yangcheng County, Jincheng City, two minutes after the rocket was launched, rainfall and snowfall suddenly increased, and soon snow covered a large wheat field.

Liu Xuejun, a senior engineer of Yangcheng Meteorological Bureau, said that due to the early drought, the local forest fire risk rating continued to be high, the soil moisture in the field continued to decline, and the early drought of winter wheat was unfavorable for spring ploughing and sowing. On the one hand, the precipitation brought by this snowfall is conducive to reducing the pressure of forest fire prevention and effectively reducing the forest fire risk rating; On the other hand, it is conducive to the development of spring ploughing and sowing, improving soil moisture to a certain extent, and playing a positive role in promoting the green growth of winter wheat, alleviating the current drought and purifying air quality.

Shanxi people are excited by the snow they have never seen all winter, and they have exposed their own snow scenes on WeChat friends circle, Weibo, Tik Tok and other platforms. Netizens said with emotion? It's nice to have the smell of winter on a warm spring day.

It hasn't snowed for a long time, but the ground and roof have been covered with thick snowflakes. ? Ms. Zhang of Changzhi said:? Children have not seen such heavy snow for a long time. Despite the cold weather, several children are making a snowman in the yard. They are very happy. ?

Affected by rain and snow, many highways, some national highways and expressways in Shanxi are closed to traffic control; At the same time, outdoor or night performances in scenic spots such as Sophora japonica in Hongdong, Shanxi Province were suspended due to rain and snow.

In this regard, the Shanxi Meteorological Bureau issued a reminder that the government and relevant departments should do a good job in emergency rescue work in response to snowstorms and freezing injuries in accordance with their duties; If necessary, suspend classes or business (except for special industries); When necessary, aircraft take-off and landing are suspended, trains are stopped and highways are temporarily closed; Do a good job in disaster relief in pastoral areas. ?
