Snow Alert
A snowstorm has engulfed many areas across northwest China’s Xinjiang Uygur Autonomous Region. 
 
Affected by a grim spate of cold air, Zhaosu County in Ili Kazakh Autonomous Prefecture has witnessed constant snowfall since Tuesday, dropping the temperature down to five degrees Celsius below zero. A local meteorological department forecasts that the snowy weather will last until Sunday. The transportation sector has arranged for more traffic officers to be on guard near crossings of slippery roads to ensure the safe travel of drivers. 
 
Fruit Valley, a well-known resort boasting a variety of beautiful sights, has also embraced snowfall and slush accompanied by thick fog Monday morning, reducing visibility to less than 100 meters. 
 
The Valley’s downtown square is clad in beautiful silvery white. Traffic officers remind drivers to turn on fog lights and maintain safe distances in this weather. 
 
A West Siberian trough has created a snowstorm over Tacheng Prefecture and consequently a radical drop in temperature. The local agriculture sector suggests farmers and herdsmen reap crops as soon as possible as the snow is occurring during this year’s harvest season. 
 
“Spells of rainy weather have a certain impact on the harvest and loosening of the soil in the future,” said Xing Jun, deputy director of the agricultural bureau of Shawan County under Tacheng. 
 
Snow has enveloped Wenquan County in Bortala Mongol Autonomous Prefecture since early Monday morning, severely affecting the transportation and agricultural operations throughout the area. 
 
In northern Kuqa County in Aksu Prefecture, sleet that began on Monday morning has brought many inconveniences to vehicles and passengers. The temperature has plunged to minus two or three degrees Celsius.
