Beijing CNN —Blizzards and freezing rain have brought massive disruption to China’s peak Lunar New Year travel rush, leaving drivers stuck in cars on icy highways and passengers struggling to rebook canceled trains and flights.
Sections of 90 major highways impacted by snow and ice were closed across China as of Tuesday morning, according to state-affiliated Beijing News.
Others show crowds of stranded passengers in train stations, in one case with an announcement blaring: “No trains are leaving today.
Tang flipped through his camera, where images showed piles of snow on both sides of the road and a long traffic jam.
Another wave of precipitation is forecast through midweek slightly further south than the snow over the weekend, according to CNN Weather.
