[2008-01-28] The worst snow and ice storms in five decades

The worst snow and ice storms in five decades are likely to continue lashing much of central and southern China through the Spring Festival.
Zheng Guoguang, chief of the China Meteorological Administration (CMA), said the icy temperatures, snow and sleet, which have struck much of the country's central, eastern and southern regions for two weeks, are likely to continue to disrupt transportation through the Spring Festival, as temperatures show no signs of rising.
