Freezing temperatures, snow, ice blanket China, shutting highways
The HinduChinese authorities limited traffic flows on highways on December 15 in several provinces after vehicles collided on icy patches as temperatures plummeted to below freezing across most of the country. The cold wave moving through the country from north to south is expected to drag temperatures lower into the weekend, even as Meteorological Centre says rain and snow will decrease. Ferries and some buses were temporarily suspended early on December 15 in Shanghai as the financial hub issued its first cold wave warning of the year as cold air from the north is forecast to reduce temperatures to as low as minus 6C this weekend. In the city of Shenyang in Liaoning province, authorities deployed 22,000 workers and over 3,400 machines for snow removal operations, clearing as much as 12,800 cubic metres of snow by early Friday.
