　　Dear Iris,

　　Thank you for your concern about the heavy snow that has swept across many parts of China including Anhui since mid-January. Actually,it's the worst snow disaster in our country.Railway and freeway traffic has been paralyzed,making the family reunion of many people in the Spring Festival impossible.Some of the electricity facilities were destroyed,which caused huge losses to the national economy.Besides,electricity shortage has been there because the severe weather made the production and transportion of coal difficult.To make matters worse,in some places have been suffered power failures.The snow caused great inconvenience to their life.joozone.com
