Heilongjiang province issued a red warning of blizzard. How is the level of blizzard divided?
There are roughly the following grades of snowfall: light snow: 12 hours with snowfall less than 1.0 mm; Medium snow: 12 hours snowfall is 1.0 ~ 3.0mm or 24 hours snowfall is 2.5 ~ 5.0mm heavy snow: 12 hours snowfall is 3.0 ~ 6.0mm or 24 hours snowfall is 5.0 ~10.0 mm; Blizzard: The snowfall in 12 hours is more than 6.0mm or 24 hours is more than 10.0mm, while in Heilongjiang and other places, the snowfall is sometimes much greater than 10mm, so two concepts are introduced, namely, heavy blizzard: the snowfall process with 20.0-30.0mm snowfall in 24 hours, and heavy blizzard.
So once the level reaches blizzard and above, what we need to do is to do a good job in disaster prevention and mitigation, and at the same time avoid casualties caused by blizzard. Therefore, before the arrival of the blizzard, the relevant departments should sprinkle industrial salt on the roads to prevent serious road icing and prevent traffic accidents and pedestrian injuries. In addition, the impact of blizzard on agriculture is also very great, which may cause crops to be frozen, and it is also possible that heavy snow will collapse the greenhouse.
