The snowstorm During the Spring Festival, many areas across southern China saw a snow disaster never seen in more than 50 years. Almost half provinces in our country were struck by the largest snow disaster. Not only in China, but also in North America, many people have suffered a cold weather. It is reported to be caused by the phenomenon, global warming. The snowstorm caused great damage to houses and power lines. Millions of people suffered from the shortage of water, vegetables and power supply. Many cars and trucks broke down on the roads, causing traffic jams. Roads were blocked. Flights were cancelled and trains were delayed, leaving tens of thousands of passengers unable to go back home. Almost 150,000 passengers were stuck at Guangzhou railway station by Jan.26 night after a power cut caused by snow. Road traffic between Hunan and Guangdong provinces has also come to a halt. Worse still, in some areas the electricity was cut off, making residents in 8 counties spend their Lunar New Year's Eve in darkness. 130 people were killed in the worst ever snowstorm and 8 missing. Facing the disaster, the government took all kinds of urgent measures to ensure everything returned to normal as soon as possible. Residents as well as soldiers were callled in to clear snow and ice on the road and rescued the people trapped in the snowstorm. Repairmen worked around the clock to ensure water and power supply, for which some even lost their lives.

Thanks to the joint efforts, people in the disaster areas were able to recover to normal.
