In Pingliang, Gansu, it snowed all night. Which industries were affected?

Transportation, agriculture, animal husbandry and tourism have all been greatly affected.

Just when all parts of the country are feeling the coolness of autumn, Pingliang has already felt the breath of winter in advance overnight. In the morning, the sky is covered with snowflakes and even the branches are covered with frost, but the sudden drop in temperature has brought adverse effects on local transportation, agriculture, animal husbandry and tourism.

First, the impact on the transportation industry. Snow not only covers the roof of every household and the distant hillside, but also causes a lot of snow on the road, which brings great inconvenience to local traffic. It takes some time to deal with the snow, and because the temperature rises in a period of time just after the snow, the snow on the road surface melts, and then as the temperature drops again, the water directly freezes, which undoubtedly increases the difficulty of cleaning the road surface, and the road surface icing is also very dangerous for passenger and cargo transportation. Therefore, the transportation department urgently stopped several passenger buses and implemented traffic control on several freight sections to ensure transportation safety.

For ordinary residents, it is necessary to know the weather and road traffic before going out. If there is a closed road, they should make a detour in advance. When driving, they should pay attention to the speed and keep a safe distance from the car in front. After all, the brakes on ice are not so sensitive, and driving too fast or too short is likely to be dangerous.

Second, the impact on agriculture 10 is the season when many agricultural planting areas are facing autumn harvest. Although this year's rainstorm came a little violently, which washed away a lot of crops and caused the price of vegetables to skyrocket, fortunately, many farmers had already grabbed a lot of harvest and avoided a lot of losses before the rainstorm completely destroyed the whole farmers. However, farmers were caught off guard by the cold winter in Pingliang, and it was too late to take corresponding anti-freezing measures for vegetables, which led to a large-scale reduction in agricultural production and heavy losses under the sudden change of temperature.

Third, the impact on animal husbandry The sudden drop in temperature has also brought great trouble to the local animal husbandry. Due to abundant rainfall, the grass is growing well this year. However, the arrival of a heavy snow caused all these fresh grasses to freeze to death, leaving livestock with nowhere to eat. Many farmers have not prepared licorice for them in winter, and the transportation is inconvenient, which makes the raising of these livestock a problem. Moreover, some livestock cubs are difficult to adapt to this sudden weather, and the survival rate is unknown.

The local tourism industry could have welcomed some tourists again through the residual temperature of the Golden Week. However, the stop of passenger transport will inevitably keep tourists out of the door, and the continuous cooling weather is also daunting.
