The roads were closed in both directions Thursday morning between capital city of Ulaanbaatar and northern parts of Mongolia due to an unprecedented April snowstorm.

Roads are covered an ice after sleet and heavy snow falls on Wednesday in northern provinces of Mongolia; namely, Selenge, Darkhan-Uul, Orkhon, Bulgan and Khuvsgul.

In Mongolia, March, April and May are spring months, with weather conditions changing widely day-to-day or hour-to-hour.
