Sapporo, Hokkaido, Japan was hit by a strong snowstorm. What impact will it bring to people's travel?

Blizzard weather is usually accompanied by strong winds and heavy snow, and visibility is very low, so this weather will bring a lot of inconvenience and even danger to people's travel. The formation conditions of snowstorms generally include a low temperature of MINUS 5℃, a wind speed of up to 56 km/h and a lot of snow. When these conditions are met at the same time, there will be a snowstorm. Blizzard and storm are two natural phenomena that have something in common, except that the former is accompanied by snowflakes in strong winds, while the latter is accompanied by raindrops in strong winds.

In winter when the weather is already very cold, if the temperature drops very low, the water droplets in the clouds will freeze. Frozen water droplets will turn into snow once they collide. Then the snow will continue to collide with other constant water droplets and water droplets, and the snow will continue to get bigger in the process. When the amount of snow increases to a certain extent, it will fall and then form snowfall. Snowfall weather is normal in winter, but once it is accompanied by strong winds with a speed of 56 km/h, it may form a snowstorm.

Blizzard actually called? Blizzard? In this weather, it is not easy to judge whether it is snowing because of the strong wind. After all, strong winds will blow up the snow. In addition, the visibility under snowstorm weather is very low, generally not exceeding 1 meter. Snowfall is to form snow and then block the roads used for daily travel. Although the strong wind in the snowstorm can blow up the snow, it can't blow it away completely, and it will also affect the visibility. Therefore, when the snowstorm comes, people should not only pay attention to the snow, but also be more careful about the road conditions, because the visibility is very low.

When there is snow on the road, people will clear the snow in the middle of the road for the convenience of travel, and the snow removal work is quite time-consuming. If you don't clear the snow, you may find the danger of being trapped in the snow if you accidentally step into the snow with unclear depth. When the storm and snow come, the strong wind will blow the snow that is not available elsewhere back to the middle of the road, which will lead to the situation that snow drifts block the road. In addition, the visibility less than one meter in snowstorm weather will also affect people's judgment and easily lead to accidents. Therefore, the snowstorm is very inconvenient and dangerous for people to travel.

Because of the high risk factor associated with snowstorm, it is better to try not to go out in this weather. 19 10, Shijiazhuang, China, went home to rest because of the snowstorm. At that time, the snow had reached people's knees. If you really have to go out in this weather, be careful.
