A weekend cold front swept over eastern and central provinces, bringing sleet and snow as China observed Major Snow, one of the 24 solar terms of the lunar calendar.
What's more, meteorologists are forecasting more of the same in the coming days.
Shanghai experienced its first winter snow over the weekend with a low temperature of about 2 Celsius. Hangzhou, Shaoxing, Ningbo and some other northern regions in Zhejiang Province had moderate to heavy snow on Saturday, and parts of its northwest area were hit by blizzards, according to the local meteorological center.
Temperatures are expected to drop by 4 to 10 degrees Celsius in some regions of Inner Mongolia Autonomous Region, northern and northwestern China, as well as in eastern China between the Yellow and Huaihe rivers, according to the center.
