Many places in Shanxi Province have experienced snowfall one after another. Why does it avoid the Jinzhong area every time it snows?
? Recently, Jincheng and Changzhi in southeastern Shanxi, Yuncheng, Linfen and other places in the south have experienced snowfall, and there are serious snow accumulations on the roads in some areas.
In Gaoping City, Jincheng City, and Hejin City, Yuncheng City, Shanxi Province, large-scale precipitation began at noon on the 24th. Affected by the cold air at the beginning, it turned into sleet and snow when it fell to the ground. That afternoon, the amount of snow gradually increased, with goose-feather heavy snow flying in the sky, and thick snow accumulated on the ground. Many citizens took to the streets to enjoy the beautiful snow scenery, and children built snowmen in the snow.
Of particular concern is the fact that the Shanxi Meteorological Observatory issued three warnings on the 24th. At about 15:00 on the 24th, the Shanxi Meteorological Observatory issued a blue warning for heavy snowfall and a yellow warning for road icing. More than an hour later, the Shanxi Provincial Meteorological Observatory issued a red snow warning.
Last winter and this spring, drought continued in Jincheng and Yuncheng, Shanxi Province, affecting crop production. The meteorological department carries out artificial snow-adding operations on rockets, anti-aircraft guns and furnaces based on specific weather conditions in various places. At the launch site in Gulong Township, Yangcheng County, Jincheng City, two minutes after the snow-increasing rocket was launched into the air, the amount of rain and snowfall suddenly increased, and soon snow covered a large area of wheat fields.
Liu Xuejun, a senior engineer at the Yangcheng County Meteorological Bureau, said that due to the previous drought climate, the local forest fire danger level continued to be high, the soil moisture in the field continued to decline, and an initial drought situation occurred in winter wheat, which was detrimental to spring plowing and spring sowing. The precipitation brought by this snowfall will, on the one hand, help reduce the pressure on forest fire prevention work and effectively reduce the level of forest fire danger; on the other hand, it will help prepare for spring plowing and sowing, improve soil moisture to a certain extent, and promote the green growth of winter wheat. , which has a positive effect in alleviating the current drought and purifying air quality.
