In the early morning of December 23, the lowest temperature in Mordaga Town, Erguna City, Hulunbuir, Inner Mongolia, fell to -46°C, ushering in the coldest day since the beginning of winter this year.
The ultra-low temperature caused the water vapor in the air to condense into a thick ice mist. At around 10 am, the ice mist covering the entire town was still not dispersed, and the visibility was less than 100 meters. The passing vehicles turned on the fog lights and slowed down.
Pedestrians wear cotton-padded clothes, cotton shoes, and cotton caps, and are fully armed to resist the severe cold.
The number of stalls selling frozen goods on both sides of the street has also decreased significantly.
In order to ensure the safety of urban heating and power supply in extremely cold weather, all four large-tonnage thermal boilers of the heating department of Erguna City have been activated to ensure that the heating area of the city's 2.2 million square meters of heating area meets the standard.
At the same time, the electric power department also conducts all-round inspections on key locations and lines to ensure the safety of urban electricity use.
