On March 2, a powerful cold wave and heavy snowfall swept across Shandong Province, China, causing widespread travel disruptions, school closures, and infrastructure damage.

Jinan and other major cities, including Zibo, were severely impacted. Train services were delayed or canceled, highways were frozen and placed under strict traffic control, and streets were covered in thick snow, making travel extremely difficult.

A market roof collapsed, and thousands of cars were trapped in the snowstorm.
