According to CMA meteorological satellite remote sensing monitoring for snow cover, up to January 28, the total area covered by snow at 15 provinces (autonomous regions and municipalities) is 128.21 million square kilometers. More than 90% of Shanghai, Jiangsu, Anhui, Henan, Hubei and Shannxi were covered by snow. The depth of snow cover at central Anhui and south Jiangsu is 30~45 cm and some areas even reached 50 cm
I see. Up to 20" of snow dropped over an area 128 million kilometers in the course of a little over 2 weeks. (01/18-01/28) These, you will remember, are part of the same organization (the ChiComs) that boasted not too long ago that Chinese economy was growing by 7+% per year; that the Great Wall of China inspired the Romans to construct Hadrian's Wall in northern England; that with the coming of a cyclone they successfully and seamlessly evac. something like 1 million people from the coast, etc., etc.
I don't doubt that China has, and does, many things, but it has been known to pull the bow string back just a little too far at times.

Maybe the snowpack melt will help with the drought.
Full Disclosure: Will there be a quadrillion-dollar lawsuit in China when the Three Gorges Dam breaks (in ten years or so?) /sarc>

This is what they were predicting in the 1980s:
Tomorrow's America is a cold and ravaged place, a nation devastated by despair and enduring winter. In a small New England city, senior government official Dr. Judith Carriol finds the man she has been seeking: a deliverer of hope in a hopeless time who can revive the dreams of a shattered people; a magnetic, compassionate idealist whom Judith can mold, manipulate and carry to undreamed-of heights; a healer who must ultimately face damnation through the destructive power of love.

Actually, the state capital, Sacramento, is in dire straits (no pun intended) with the strong possibility of a deadly flood of the American River. You’d think the nitwit Legislature would be concerned, but I suppose they think of the Central Valley as their own little “flyover country.”

Has anybody seen that idiot Gore since all this Global Cold?
Or has he left town and hiding in Bermuda?

Look on the bright side, this will alleviate the problem that the drought caused in China with plenty of fresh water around.

Reminds me of that song from Zed Zeppelin when the levee breaks, but, with this .. this is a BIG problem, if the 3 Gorges dam can't hold all that water.

Understand, this is an area TWICE that of Texas, with 20” of snow.
That is a LOT of snow, however you look at it! Bury everything between the Rockies and the Mississippi River to 20” depth - that is one heck of a storm. I dare say even the US would be reeling if that happened for as long as it’s gone on...
Especially if it hit the SW and SE, areas that usually have to worry about a hard frost, and that’s it...

Record cold in Russia, India, China and North America....when will the Democrats realize that this is Global Cooling?
Maybe when Hill freezes over?

128,000,000 square kilometers?Reality check: The CIA's World Factbook only shows 9,596,960 sq km for China (7.5% as much).

It is common to see lax proof-reading. Could be 1.28 million. One missing period.:-)

The MSM is rife with innumerates. It’s a serious shortcoming — not that they can do anything else well.
Even some reporters seem to recognize the problem:

A lot of that land is badly polluted. All that runoff will be more of the same.
