In Vietnam half of the mountainous areas in the north are covered in snow. Residents of the areas affected revealed that "this is the lowest for many years and the biggest snowfall." 


Apart from Vietnam our Burmese friends particularly those residing in Kachin, the northernmost state of Myanmar that is absolutely not a stranger to snow, is being pounded by heavy snowfall too.
