  ABSTRACT: This research analyzed a snowfall process in north China during February 12-13, 2022. By using synoptic and numerical analysis, it is concluded that this snowfall process was mainly caused by trough, low-level vortex, shear line and Siberian High. Meanwhile, an easterly wind that transports water vapor from the Bohai to North China, was the water resource of the snowfall process. Relative humidity in the low atmosphere was above 80%, providing an excellent humidity condition for snowfall. Positive vorticity and convergence induced upward motion, which offered conditions for snowfall. Numerical reconstruction is also used to show the range and the intensity of the snowfall process.
