Snow covered roads from heavy winds in north China's Inner Mongolia Autonomous Region hindered efforts to reach 1,000 herdsmen, who have been cut off since a major blizzard hit the region a week ago, reported Chinese state news agency Xinhua.Rescue teams sent by the county-level government managed to clear the roads, but strong winds blew the snow onto the roads again Friday.
