Beijing to Get Its First Snowfall of the Season on Sunday
By Justine Lopez
Are you ready? Beijing is expected to get its first snow of the season this weekend. But this isn’t going to be some little flurry. This is likely going to be some heavy snow that will blanket the city, Shanghai Daily reports.
A weak cold front is expected to hit Beijing on Saturday and will help clear up some of that smog we’ve been experiencing the past couple days. The snow, which was originally expected to arrive on Monday, is likely going to hit us as early as early Sunday afternoon.
AccuWeather is predicting we could see about 2-4 inches of snow on Sunday. The snow is expected to last until late Monday.
It is also possible that some western and northern parts of Beijing could experience blizzards over the weekend, Shanghai Daily reports.
Snow aside, it’s going to get cold – and fast. We’re looking at an 8 to 10 C temperature drop starting next week. Basically temperatures from Tuesday to Thursday will reach a high of 1 C during the day and get down to around -9 C at night. The strong winds that are expected to hit us early next week will only function to make it colder.
Good thing those heaters are now keeping us nice and toasty while we're inside. Stay warm everyone and enjoy the snow.
