"It's strange this snowfall, it won't snow so much at this time in previous years......" The lobby of the Tianlu Inn was full of people, and the parking lot outside was full of vehicles of different sizes, Tashi Dawa and Lao Liu stood in front of the window and looked at the fluttering snow outside, frowning and muttering.

"Isn't it normal for it to snow at this time? I was stuck in Namco last month by the snowstorm. Lao Liu tilted his head and looked at Tashi Dawa and said.

"Shanbei is Shanbei, Shannan is Shannan, it's different. Tashi Dawa shook his head and said, "It is normal for the north of the mountain to start snowing in October every year, but the south of the mountain, especially along the Qinghai-Tibet Highway, is the coldest time from November to February of the following year, but there are not many times when it snows heavily, and the ice and snow weather on the Qinghai-Tibet Highway is mostly concentrated between February and May." ”

Now Lao Liu understood what was going on.

In the highlands, snowfall has little to do with temperature. The rainy season on the plateau is in June, July, August and September, when the precipitation is most concentrated. Although the winter is cold, it is dry and cold. Most of the snowfall occurs on the shady side of the mountain range, such as the northern side of the Nianqing Tanggula Mountain, which is also known as Namco, for example, the Gangdis Mountains and the northern slope of the Tanggula Mountain.

For example, the Qinghai-Tibet Highway is located on the southern slope of the Nianqing Tanggula Mountain, and there is less snowfall in winter.

Once the humid air from the south starts to move north, it rains like on the side of Sunshine City, but when it reaches Tanggula Mountain, it turns into snowfall.

It can't be helped, who makes the altitude high and the temperature low over there? Snow in July is a common occurrence on the side of Tanggula Pass.

The driver, who was drinking from a thermos cup in both hands, also said: "This snow is really not right. I've been running this line all year round, and it's rare to encounter such a heavy snowfall at this time. Alas...... Looks like we're going to have to block it for a few more days this time. ”

The snow began to fall from almost noon, and now it is almost dark, and not only is it not decreasing, but it is getting heavier and heavier.

There are traffic police comrades directing traffic at intervals on the highway, and Wang Chaoyang is now maintaining traffic order on the roadside outside the inn.

This kind of sky-traveling car is undoubtedly a very dangerous thing, so these traffic police comrades will all go on the road to maintain traffic order.

At this time, there is no way to clear the snow, so you can only let the passing vehicles run over. Wait until the snow stops to sweep the road, but by that time the road has often formed a thick layer of "ground armor......

Some experienced drivers will immediately look for a place to stop and rest when they see this situation. As long as the car is not pulling perishable food items, basically those experienced drivers will wait for the snow to stop before hitting the road.

Although this will increase a lot of costs, eating and lodging will cost money, but it is better than being blocked by heavy snow in a place where there is no village in front of the village, once it is really blocked in the middle of the road, it is really abused, and if you don't get it right, you may be able to die.

So, it's better to spend more money than to suffer that kind of sin halfway!

Just like the Tianlu Inn, many drivers simply stayed at the inn as soon as they saw the snow falling heavier and heavier.

Wang Chaoyang, who had been freezing outside all afternoon, walked into the inn tremblingly. Lao Liu hurriedly brought a cup of steaming hot tea.

Wang Chaoyang took off his frozen raincoat and held hot tea in both hands. Thank you. ”

"Uncle Wang, look at what you said, you've been standing outside for almost an afternoon, I don't care if you have a cup of hot tea?"

After taking two puffs of cigarette, Wang Chaoyang took a sip of tea and let out a sigh, "I guess I won't be able to sleep tonight." It is estimated that all the road guards and the police and auxiliary police who can move on the entire highway will have to go on the road. Keeping the Qinghai-Tibet Highway open is a top priority! I hope there will be fewer car accidents? That way we can save a little lighter. ”

The driver said, "Maybe it won't fall after the snow is over." ”

Wang Chaoyang shook his head, "It's not as simple as you think." The snowfall was very large, and in the afternoon there was news from the Heishui side that it was also raining a lot, as if it was also falling on the Tanggula Pass. ”

Hearing Wang Chaoyang's words, the driver's originally happy face suddenly became bitter? Well, this time it's going to have to be blocked for at least a week, right?"

Wang Chaoyang glanced at the driver?" Blocked for a week? Do you eat white rice for more than 1,000 road guards on the more than 1,000 kilometers of Qinghai-Tibet Highway? You and we, the policemen, all eat white rice? Let me tell you, as long as the snow stops, this road will not take half a day to drive. ”

The driver laughed twice at the bear's sneer: "I didn't mean that, I mean the ...... of our sports cars."

Wang Chaoyang patted the driver's back and said, "Are you smart? As soon as you see such a heavy snowfall, you can just find an inn to live in?" Let me tell you, there are a lot of drivers on this road who live in the aid station, and there are many more drivers who are stuck in the middle of the road and can't get into the ambulance station even if they want to spend money. How much sin is it to be in the car on a day like this?"

The driver shrank his head, "Yes, yes, you're right." ”

On the nearly 1,200-kilometer stretch of the Qinghai-Tibet Highway from Garmu to Riguang City, there are a total of six maintenance sections responsible for the maintenance of the highway. There are many small maintenance stations under these six maintenance sections, and there are rescue stations in all six maintenance stations, and some of the larger maintenance stations also have rescue stations.

The aid stations on the Qinghai-Tibet Highway are not for the homeless people in the cities of the plains, but for drivers and tourists passing by on the Qinghai-Tibet Highway.

The Qinghai-Tibet Highway is the highway with the largest number of vehicles opened to traffic on the entire plateau, with an average daily traffic volume of more than 10,000 vehicles, and most of them are heavy trucks.

Therefore, once encountering ice and snow weather, these heavy trucks will not be able to drive normally, and the high altitude and low temperature of the plateau will make it easy to have an accident if there is no place for help.

Since the Qinghai-Tibet Highway was repaired, aid stations have been set up in the maintenance section of the highway or those under the maintenance section.

Just like the most famous "first class in the world", the rescue station set up by the 109th class of the Pana maintenance section of the Qinghai-Tibet Highway located in the Tanggula Pass, has rescued thousands of passing drivers over the years.

It's just that the conditions of the aid station are not mentioned, and it is already very good to be able to provide you with a shelter from the wind and snow, and the conditions that you have thought of are basically impossible.

More than 1,000 people are scattered on the Qinghai-Tibet Highway for more than 1,000 kilometers, with an average of one maintenance worker per kilometer, how good can the conditions be?

Where like here, there is not only heating, but also hot water and hot meals, and more comfortable rooms for you to stay.

Wang Chaoyang turned his head to Lao Liu and said: "Xiao Ang, it seems that this snow can't be stopped for a while, and it is not easy for these passing drivers concentrated in your inn, so take care of what you can take care of." ”

"Uncle Wang, don't worry, I still have this awareness. I only charge a cost fee for meals, and I charge for guest rooms by bed, and fifty yuan for a bed is also a cost fee. ”

"Hehe, this price is already very conscientious. After all, you also have employees to pay salaries, and you also need to burn coal for heating......"

The driver next to him said with a smile: "Comrade policeman, this little Boss Liu is very righteous, I have been running the Qinghai-Tibet line for so many years, and I have never encountered such a low accommodation price." ”

"Well, you just need to keep out of trouble. Stay here for two days, and when the weather clears and the snow clears the road, you can go home. ”

The driver nodded heavily.

Wang Chaoyang finished drinking this cup of hot tea and smoking this cigarette, and then put on the poncho again and walked out of the inn, continuing to maintain traffic order on the side of the road.

In such weather, traffic control is a must. Although most drivers don't brave the snow on such a snowy day, there are some drivers who have to brave the snow to get there, and in such cases, traffic control is a must.

It's not that you won't be allowed to go, but that you should be kept away to avoid blocking the Qinghai-Tibet Highway directly due to a car accident due to road slippage.

As Wang Chaoyang said, from Riguang City to Dangquka County to Zhongning Township, as long as it is a township police station on the side of the Qinghai-Tibet Highway, whether it is a formal police or an auxiliary police, all the official police or auxiliary police are dispatched, and the city and county bureaus only leave the necessary personnel on duty, and other personnel are also dispatched under the leadership of the leaders to maintain traffic order on the Qinghai-Tibet Highway.

The Qinghai-Tibet Highway has brought prosperity to the towns along the route, but similarly, the towns along the route must also ensure the smooth flow of the Qinghai-Tibet Highway. This is not just for economic purposes, but also for a higher military and political sense.

Just like the Tongmai Tianwei that Liu Moang passed by when he sent Chu Qian home, before the five tunnels and two bridges were built, countless road guards and armed police soldiers struggled in Tongmai Tianwei, and even threw their lives there. Isn't it just to ensure the smooth flow of the Sichuan-Tibet Highway?

These road protection workers and police officers and armed police brothers who are active on the Qinghai-Tibet Highway all the year round also use their hard work to ensure the smooth flow of the Qinghai-Tibet Highway.

It is these unknown people who have exchanged their hard work and hard work for the smooth flow of the Qinghai-Tibet Highway!

Seeing Wang Chaoyang standing on the side of the road in the wind and snow, holding a bright traffic baton in his hand and directing passing vehicles one by one, Lao Liu's heart was also full of emotion.

"Lazhen, tell your dog brother, boil a big pot of preserved egg and lean porridge, boil more eggs, scrambled egg fried rice, put more ham, and in a while we will go to deliver food to the police and road guards who are busy working on the highway." Wang Yu, you find out the thermos bucket in the restaurant, ask Wang Feng to boil more hot water, and we must ensure the supply of hot water while delivering the meal. ”

"Okay!" replied the two girls crisply.
