Chinese weather forecasters extended cold alert warnings until Tuesday for many provinces blanketed by heavy snow and gripped by icy conditions.

People were warned conditions could worsen because of strong winds, Xinhua reported. Forecasters said temperatures, already well below freezing, were expected to fall by up to 64 degrees Fahrenheit through Tuesday in central Inner Mongolia, Shaanxi province and in regions along the Yellow and Huaile rivers.

Similar conditions were forecast for north and central areas, including northwest China, north China, Guizhou Province, Chongqing and some regions in the Qinghai-Tibet Plateau.

Beijing had received almost a foot of snow, forcing authorities to close schools and cancel flights in and out of the Chinese capital, the BBC reported. Residents have been told to form work groups to clear snow and ice as transport systems came under strain.

The global warming crowd continues to reject the data that shows we’re cooling.

Can you imagine passing Cap and Trade based on this fraud?

China even gets people to fight against the cold:

“Residents have been told to form work groups to clear snow and ice “

In America, people wouldn’t have to be told to help in a natural disaster; they’d volunteer.

I remember the Chinese military calling out troops to shoot at the ice on the power lines.

This can't be right, if temps are already below 32F a 64F drop is -32F or colder! Damn that Global Warming.
