Chinese Prime Minister Wen Jiabao has urged people to "have faith" that some of the worst snow storms in 50 years can be overcome, state media says.
Mr Wen called the extreme weather a "severe natural disaster" as he travelled to Hunan province, one of the worst-affected.

The weather has caused travel chaos and left thousands of people stranded.

One woman has been trampled to death in the southern city of Guangzhou, in a stampede to board a train.

Another southern city, Chenzhou, has reportedly had no power for a week, and many of its 4m resident have also been without a stable water supply for days.

Idahna, Ore. buried in snow; mayor asks for emergency help

By KGW and kgw.com Staff

In Idahna, Ore., there is so much snow, residents' roofs are starting to collapse. The mayor has requested that Oregon Governor Ted Kulongoski declare the area a state of emergency and send help.


Eighteen inches of snow fell in the last 24 hours on top to 6 feet of snow already there, Idahna Mayor Karen Clark said Sunday.


There is literally nowhere to put the snow.


"We have buildings with snow on them in danger of collapsing. Snow around doors in danger of bursting, some homes have already sustained damage," Clark said.


The town does not have the resources to deal with so much snow, according to the mayor.
