Chinese meteorologists covered Beijing in snow
Sunday after seeding clouds to bring winter weather to the capital
in an effort to combat a lingering drought, state media reported.
The unusually early snow blanketed the capital from Sunday

as low as minus 2 Celsius (29 Fahrenheit) and strong winds from
the north, Xinhua news agency reported.
Besides falling in the northeastern provinces of Liaoning and

the report quoted Zhang Qiang, head of the Beijing Weather Modification
Office, as saying.
