An early-season snowstorm has blanketed much of northern China including the capital Beijing, prompting road closures and flight cancellations. Temperatures plunged as a cold front moved from west to east.

Snow continued fell on Sunday in Beijing, the nearby city of Tianjin and northeastern China after hitting parts of Inner Mongolia and other western areas the previous day. The National Meteorological Center has issued an orange alert for snowstorms. Some expressways were temporarily shut in Hebei province, which surrounds Beijing, and further to the west in Shanxi province.
