Weather report: Snowfall scale and winter weather disaster

A cold snap rolled into Beijing last night and brought about 7 millimeters of snow by early this morning. For more on that, we are now joined by Halla Mohieddeen from China's Meteorological Administration.

Q1:

Will this snowfall cover large areas of northern parts of China? And how long will it last?

Q2:

Snow has arrived in northern China earlier this year compared to previous years. Can we expect a dangerous amount of snow to fall this winter?
