China issues snow storm warnings

Xinhua, November 21, 2015 Adjust font size:

China's weather observatory on Saturday issued a blue alert, the lowest in the four-tier color-coded weather warning system, for snow storm in Beijing and neighboring regions.

Snowstorms will hit Inner Mongolia Autonomous Region and northern provinces of Shanxi and Hebei as well as Beijing and Tianjin municipalities on Saturday and Sunday, with some areas expected to see snowfall of up to 12 millimeters, the National Meteorological Center said.
