Ice rime attracts tourists from the Pearl River Delta.

Yesterday morning, Lechang, Shaoguan City, located at the junction of Guangdong and Hunan, ushered in the first snow in Guangdong in 2005, and the temperature hit a new low, about zero. Light snowflakes are scattered on streets, floors, buildings and vehicles coming and going. The reporter drove all the way along the Beijing-Zhuhai Expressway and found that both sides of the road were white and the ravine was covered with a layer of snow, which was quite spectacular. The vegetation on the mountain is wrapped in crystals, and all kinds of green weeds are wrapped in ice. However, in the Yunyan section of Beijing-Zhuhai Expressway, there is a spectacular phenomenon of ice rime. These attracted many tourists from the Pearl River Delta who braved the cold to watch.

On the way, the reporter met Yuan Ruiguang from Panyu, Guangzhou. He drove to see the snow with his family yesterday. He said that he had been paying attention to the weather forecast, and he knew that there was snow today, so he made a special trip. According to him, when it snows here, there will be rime and icicles will hang down from the trees. If it snows heavily, the scenery will be more beautiful.

Road Closed

The weather was cold, the road was slippery and closed for five hours.

It's freezing and snowing, which brings surprises to tourists, but it's not good for drivers. At 2 o'clock in the morning yesterday, due to the cold weather and icy roads, the Meihua-Da Qiao section of the northern section of the Beijing-Zhuhai Expressway was closed for five hours. However, the traffic jam caused by this lasted until noon yesterday, and at the same time, several traffic accidents were caused by slippery roads and heavy fog.

When the reporter arrived at Yunyan section of Beijing-Zhuhai Expressway at noon yesterday 12, thousands of southbound cars slowly moved forward in the cold wind, and all kinds of cars lined up. According to the introduction of Shaoguan Traffic Police Detachment, due to the fog on the road, they began to implement the southbound one-way full closure at 2 am yesterday and did not lift it until 7 am. The traffic police are on duty all night to divert the cars stranded on the expressway to various exits to relieve the pressure on the expressway. He said that if there is no diversion, tens of thousands of cars will line up in a long queue of dozens of kilometers. At the same time, the construction workers kept spraying salt water on the road surface to solve the icing problem.

Troubled

The driver was trapped in the cold all night.

Although the road closure was lifted at 7 am, the traffic jam caused by it was not cleared until noon, and most drivers were trapped for a whole cold night. Mr. Li, a truck driver in Jiangxi who was trapped overnight, said that it was a long night. The car couldn't walk and people couldn't walk because it was too cold outside to go down. He and the co-pilot can only stay up all night in the cab with their legs bent.

It is reported that there have been several traffic accidents during the traffic jam, and no casualties have been reported yet. According to the driver, the road surface is icy and slippery after snow, and the car is easy to slip on the road. Sometimes when the car is in front, it just can't stop.

In the afternoon, when the reporter drove back to Shi Ping Town, there was heavy fog in Yunyan section of Beijing-Zhuhai Expressway, and the visibility could only reach 20 meters. All vehicles are driving slowly at a speed of 20 kilometers per hour with headlights and emergency lights on. The traffic police told reporters that they are closely monitoring the road conditions at present, and whether to close the road depends on the weather. (Zhuang Yangjie Tan Weishan)
