东北暴雪，网友：我在北方裹着貂，你在南方露着腰
降雪snowfall
当地政府表示，黑龙江省暴雪已导致100多个航班取消，高速路和学校也被迫关闭。
这里的ground用作动词，表示“使...停留在地面（港口）不能移动”，多用于轮船、飞机等运输设备，所以上面这句话我们也可以说more than 100 flights were grounded because of the snowstorm。另外，经常看美剧的同学应该能注意到，ground有时候也用来表示家长对做错事的孩子进行惩罚，不让他们出去玩，就是“禁足”，比如：My parents grounded me for a week（我爸妈让我禁足一个星期）或I am grounded for a week（我被禁足一个星期）。
黑龙江省气象中心的数据显示，哈尔滨、牡丹江等地的降雪达到25.8毫米，部分地区的积雪厚度达到17厘米。
In Jilin province, heavy rains and strong winds have forced many cities to close their primary and middle schools and kindergartens for one or two days, including in the capital city Changchun, as well as Songyuan and Baicheng.
强降雨和大风迫使吉林省长春市、松原市以及白城市的中小学及幼儿园关闭一至两天。
The Changchun Longjia International Airport has been closed, with a total of 126 flights canceled and 17 flights delayed as of 3 pm. Train services at three major railway stations in Changchun have also been partially closed.
长春龙嘉国际机场关闭，截至11月19日下午3点，126个航班取消，17个航班延误。长春市三个主要火车站也部分关闭。
Police in Liaoning province have imposed traffic restrictions on expressways due to the snow, while some highways have been closed.
受降雪影响，辽宁省警方对高速公路采取限行措施，部分道路关闭。
The National Meteorological Center said snow will continue to lower temperatures by 8 to 10 degrees, but will taper off from Friday through Sunday. The snow system will move toward Northwest and North China, including the Xinjiang Uygur and Ningxia Hui autonomous regions, Beijing and Gansu province. Heavy rainfall is expected in some areas.
中央气象台表示，降雪将导致气温下降8到10度，不过从11月20日至22日，降雪将逐渐减少，并转移至西北、华北的新疆、宁夏、甘肃以及北京等地。部分地区将出现强降雨。
这里的taper off是一个固定搭配的短语，表示“逐渐减少、变小”等意思，比如：Her voice tapered off as she realized everyone was listening.（当她意识到大家都在听时，她的声音就越来越小了）。Taper作为动词，本身也表示“逐渐变小、变细、变窄”等意思，比如：The cave tapered to a narrow passageway.（那个洞穴慢慢变成了一条窄窄的通道）。
