What is the situation of tens of thousands of people fighting against blizzard overnight in Nanjing?

On January 25th, Nanjing, most of the Yangtze River Delta region was covered with heavy snow, and the deepest snow in Nanjing, the capital of Jiangsu Province, exceeded 13cm. In order to keep urban traffic and citizens' travel unaffected, from the evening of 24th, nearly 1, people from all levels of urban management, traffic police, troops, enterprises and institutions in Nanjing took to the streets to sweep snow and remove ice, and all kinds of snow removal "artifacts" were all dispatched to fight against the blizzard.

according to the orange warning of snowstorm issued by the meteorological department of China on 25th, in the last 24 hours, some areas in southeastern Anhui, southwestern Jiangsu, northwestern Zhejiang and other places have experienced the heaviest snowstorm-level snowfall of 18mm. In Nanjing, the capital of Jiangsu Province, heavy snow has covered the whole city, and the snow in some urban areas has reached 13 cm, which has a great impact on urban traffic and citizens' travel.

according to the report of Nanjing urban management department, more than 7, people including urban management team members, sanitation workers, traffic police and public security officers have been dispatched to fight all night since last night, and a large number of "snow removal artifacts" have all been driven to the front line, with full horsepower to sweep snow and remove ice.

On the evening of 24th, the "army" of sweeping snow in Nanjing was already waiting for it. According to the snow situation, it continuously sprayed snow melting agent on the main roads. By about 5: am on the 25th, all the snow sweepers had been dispatched, sweating and cleaning the expressway and the main lanes of the city in the sub-zero temperature and heavy snow.

On Zhongshan North Road, Nanjing, the reporter saw a large snow-sweeping roller and two small snow-sweeping rollers, which were sweeping and deicing at full speed. Wherever they went, the thick snow on the ground was immediately pushed to both sides, which was very clean. However, in a few minutes, the large snowflakes falling from the sky covered the newly cleaned ground with a layer of white.

"It is dry snow today, and the snowflakes are very big, so the speed of sweeping snow can't keep up with the speed of snow." Cai Yong, vice president of Nanjing Binjiang Environmental Sanitation Company, told reporters that since last night, more than 7 environmental sanitation workers in their company have been fighting for more than ten hours, with seven snow sweepers, a large snow sweeper, two small snow sweepers, a hand-pushed snow sweeper, blowers, sprinklers and other "snow removal artifacts". "But the road surface cleaned in the morning has accumulated a thick layer at noon."

According to Cai Yong, in the face of such a heavy snow situation, all kinds of "snow removal artifacts" can be described as powerful. "Different snow removal machines are needed for different road conditions: a large snow sweeper can quickly clear the snow on the main road at 15 kilometers per hour, and the workload of a large snow sweeper for about one hour may replace the workload of more than 2 sanitation workers for several hours or even more than ten hours; Small snow sweepers can turn around in situ, which is suitable for removing snow from sidewalks, auxiliary roads and small streets. "

It is learned that in order to clear the newly fallen snow as soon as possible and avoid freezing into ice, Nanjing urban management department has also used various "snow removal artifacts" such as blowers and high-pressure water cannons. "Blowers can clear the snow on trees as soon as possible, and prevent trees from being crushed by snow and being in danger; The high-pressure sprinkler gun can effectively remove the snow that has just fallen on the ground during the day when the ground temperature is still above zero, and the efficiency is very high. " Cai Yong told reporters.

Although a large number of "snow-removing artifacts" have been added to the snow-sweeping army, according to the Jiangsu Meteorological Bureau, this is the most extensive, longest-lasting and severe freezing weather in Jiangnan since this winter. The lowest temperature in Nanjing this morning is only MINUS 1.8 degrees, which is more likely to form snow and freezing. In areas covered by heavy snow, continuous snow sweeping may take 24 hours or even longer.

Facing the snow situation, according to Xu Weining, director of Nanjing Urban Management Bureau, the city has prepared 2,4 professional snow-sweeping and deicing vehicles, 1,38 machines and 1,38 tons of snow melting agent. Try your best to minimize the impact of blizzard and low temperature weather.
