Mass evacuations as China's south battles 'big freeze'
By Martin Patience BBC News, Beijing
Freezing temperatures in south-western China have forced the evacuation of 58,000 people from their homes, according to the Chinese authorities.
Ice and snow have closed roads, leaving thousands of motorists stranded.
Officials said the roofs of more than 1,000 homes in five provinces have collapsed because of the bad weather.
Those living in mountainous areas have been hardest hit - with tens of thousands being evacuated.
The authorities say that snow and ice across the region has damaged almost 300,000 acres of crops - with losses of nearly $200m (£129m).
Across south-western China, highways and other transport networks continue to be affected by the cold weather.
In Guizhou province icy conditions have closed roads, leaving thousands of motorists stranded.
Forecasts say that the freezing conditions are set to last until Friday.

It has been a while since we last communicated, and i thank you for your comments in regards to these posted stories. it was not my intent to make this an ongoing thread nor to compete with other threads in regards to the constantly changing weather patterns that abound our planet lately. It would be difficult at this juncture to fill your request adequately and fittingly. i will continue to post here while this story continues to unfold and effects the (many) Avalon members residing in the UK and Europe. The addition of other global weather news, is an added bonus ~ if it coincides with the weather event being reported.

Below~ Piers Corbyn of http://www.weatheraction.com discusses the significance and interrelationship between the Gulf and Jet Streams.
Please note for the eagle eyed, although the Gulf Stream seems bolder in 2010 - it also seems to me - to be further south - anyway these images were added without Piers' say so, for illustrative purposes.
Below~ Piers Corbyn of http://www.weatheraction.com provides a remarkable correlation between eclipses and Queensland flooding. He also touches on the methodology WeatherAction uses in forecasting: Lunar behaviour and Solar Flares.
