Beijing traffic struggles with snow
0 
Moderate snow fell on most parts of Beijing beginning late Monday night. The storm also brought lightening. The capital's second snowfall of the season forced measures to ensure traffic could still get through as snow blanketed roads.
The northwestern Haidian District reported the heaviest snowfall in the city.
17 centimeters of snow covered the streets.
The temperature plummeted nine degrees to minus 2.5 degrees Celsius.
The snow caused some problems as people went to work.
A Beijing local resident said, "It is indeed very cold. I didn't feel it this morning when I went out, but now I'm starting to feel really cold. I can't feel my ears, hands or feet."
The Beijing Bus Group dispatched one-thousand workers to clear snow at each bus station overnight.
