As the large-scale rain and snow weather in southern China gradually comes to an end, the rising temperatures have caused ice pillars hanging on the Wuhan Yangtze River Bridge to fall and damage multiple vehicles.

To further prevent the risk of falling ice shells injuring people or vehicles, the Chengyun Group has temporarily closed the Erqi Yangtze River Bridge for de-icing operations.

Although the rain and snow in most parts of the southern region have entered the final stage, the temperatures remain relatively low. As the daytime temperatures rise, the frozen snow and ice begin to melt, dripping from the eaves.

However, as the sun sets, temperatures in these areas will drop to around 0 degrees Celsius or even lower, causing the melted snow to refreeze. This process easily forms transparent ice pillars, commonly known as "ice stalactites" in northeastern China.

2月7日，我给南方大范围雨雪天气过程逐渐进入收尾阶段，受气温回升影响，武汉过江大桥桥梁上有冰柱纷纷坠落，导致多车被砸。
据武汉城运集团公司消息，受前期低温冻雨影响，武汉多个过江桥梁出现主缆、主拱、拉索结冰现象。为防止气温回升后冰壳脱落砸伤人员或车辆， 城运集团将临时封闭二七长江大桥进行除冰作业。
据了解，目前南方大部地区的雨雪虽然已经进入收尾阶段，但气温依旧比较低迷，白天气温回升，凝固的雪和冰冻开始融化，雪水顺着屋檐滴嗒滴嗒落下，等到太阳落山，这些地方的气温又会下降至0℃左右甚至更低，雪水重新冻结，就容易逐渐形成一根根坚硬、透明的冰柱，在东北等地称之为“冰溜子”。有道是明“冰”易躲，暗“溜”难防，一不注意这些冰柱落下砸在车上就是一个个坑，要是砸在人头上还可能受伤，甚至致命。
