The snow falls like a bird perched on the branches, and the snow flies like a flutter. From yesterday afternoon to this morning, it quietly rained all night, woke up, pushed the door out, the heavens and the earth are white, bright and bright, high-quality white.
This snow in Henan will still fall during the day today. This snow, with its many benefits, is a snowslide that helps wheat overwinter and reduces the forest fire risk level.
However, after the snow, the ice is frozen, the road is easy to slip, which is a derivative trouble, and everyone needs to come up with an attitude of "trembling, like walking on thin ice".
Dahe News Yu video reporter learned that under the combined action of natural precipitation and artificial rain (snow), from the afternoon of January 4 to the early morning of January 5, Henan ushered in the first snowfall weather in 2022, with heavy snow and local blizzards in the central and western regions.
According to the monitoring data of the Provincial Meteorological Observatory, from 7 o'clock on the 4th to 6 o'clock on the 5th, there was obvious rain and snow in most parts of Henan. Among them, north of the Yellow River and Zhengzhou, Xuchang, Kaifeng, Sanmenxia, Luoyang, Pingdingshan, Luohe and other places, moderate to heavy snowfall, local blizzard, the maximum snowfall of 10.4 mm, Zhengzhou snowfall of 10 mm.
As of 05:00 on the 5th, the depth of snow in the central and western regions and the north is generally 2 to 9 cm, and the maximum snow depth is 9 cm in Dengfeng and Xinmi, and 7 cm in Zhengzhou.
In view of the rain and snow process, the meteorological department of the province strengthened monitoring and forecasting and early warning, strengthened the consultation and linkage with emergency, transportation, housing and other departments, and made every effort to do a good job in rain and snow weather meteorological services.
The Henan Meteorological Bureau launched a road icing and blizzard LEVEL IV emergency response, as of 06:00 on the 5th, the meteorological departments at all levels in the province issued a total of 218 early warning signals such as road icing and blizzard, of which the provincial meteorological station issued a yellow warning of road icing at 15:00 on the 4th, and a blue warning of blizzard at 18:00. At the same time, the meteorological department of the province seized the favorable weather opportunity to organize and carry out a large-scale artificial snow increase operation, and the effect was obvious.

According to the introduction, the rain and snow weather process is conducive to improving air quality, increasing soil moisture and winter wheat overwintering, while reducing the forest fire risk level, but the public needs to guard against the adverse effects of slippery roads and reduced visibility on travel safety.
The meteorological department recommends that vehicle drivers should pay attention to road conditions and drive safely. Pedestrians should pay attention to anti-slip when going out, while staying away from snow trees, and do a good job of cold protection and warmth.
