Ningxia Observatory issued a yellow alert as the accumulated snow reached between four to seven millimeters on Saturday morning.
The capital city, Yinchuan, was entirely enveloped in snow. Drivers had to travel with caution with many reducing their speed and using their headlights due to slippery roads.
Accumulated snow was above six millimeters in south of Shizuishan City and most areas of Yinchuan. The snow in other areas along the Helan Mountain, Helan County and the Shahu Lake in Pingluo County had reached more than 10 millimeters
Meteorologists say snow in the above areas will last until Sunday afternoon or evening.
