Strong winds and heavy snow brought by a powerful cold front battered several parts of northwest China's Xinjiang Uygur Autonomous Region in the past two days, disrupting road traffic and prompting swift emergency responses from local authorities for public safety.
Starting late Tuesday, heavy snow blanketed Jeminay County in Altay Prefecture, covering houses, roads, and infrastructure.
Road surfaces turned dangerously slippery. Local traffic police activated emergency plans to guide traffic at key intersections, ensuring public travel safety.
At the same time, strong winds stirred blowing snow, drastically reducing visibility. Road maintenance workers kept clearing the snow for safe passage.
