Winter came early for residents of Mohe City, China’s northernmost urban hub, as heavy autumn snow transformed the region into a frosty wonderland overnight Monday. With up to 8.1 millimeters of snowfall, locals scrambled to install snow tires 🚗❄️ while tourists snapped photos of the unexpected winter scenery. Tire shops reported lines out the door as the city’s annual winter prep timeline got a sudden shake-up.
"I came for autumn foliage, not a snowstorm!" laughed one visitor from Shanghai, bundled in borrowed layers. Meanwhile, authorities activated emergency protocols to keep roads safe and power grids stable amid the flurry. The snow is expected to ease by Wednesday night, but not before giving Mohe a taste of its famous icy charm ahead of schedule.
Known as China’s "Arctic City," Mohe regularly sees temperatures plunge below -30°C in peak winter. This early snowfall hints at a potentially intense season ahead—perfect news for ski enthusiasts but a reminder for all to #LayerUp! 🧤🌨️
