Traffic back to normal after snow

Traffic resumed in snowstorm-hit areas of northern China as highways and airports were reopened on Monday morning.

The National Meteorological Center released an alert that the temperature might drop as much as 12 C this week, reminding drivers and traffic management authorities to keep a close eye on road conditions.

The abrupt snow over the weekend caused traffic difficulties in the Inner Mongolia autonomous region, Shanxi, Hebei, Liaoning and Jilin provinces, and Beijing and Tianjin municipalities.
