As soon as March begins, snow is falling again in the Yeongdong region, where heavy snow that reaches a maximum of 1m has poured in.
Heavy snow warnings have been issued in the mountains, Sokcho, and Goseong, but you should also be aware of fog and strong winds.
We will connect with reporters to find out more about the snow situation. Reporter Kim Jin-du!
There was a heavy snow warning. How much snow did it fall?
[기자]
Yes, it snowed the most at 5.6cm in the mountainous area of Taebaek, Gangwon-do.
There is not much snow at 4.1cm in Misiryeong, 2.8cm in Pyeongchang, and 2cm in Seorak-dong and Jinburyeong.
The heavy snow warning continues to take effect in the mountainous regions of north central Gangwon-do, Sokcho, Goseong, and Yangyang.
Preliminary warnings for heavy snow were issued in the southern mountains of Gangwon, Gangneung, East Sea, and Samcheok, but were lifted as snow weakened.

This area is literally a place where snow bombs were poured on the third day, but how much more snow is going to fall?
[기자]
Yes, by tonight, it is expected that there will be 2~5m of snow in the mountainous areas of Gangwon, and 1~3cm of snow on the east coast of Gangwon and the northeast of Gyeongbuk.
So, a total of 10cm of snow falls in many places.
Although it is less than that of 1m of snow on March 1st, there is a high risk of accidents on an icy road because it snows in sub-zero cold.
In addition, in the mountains, low clouds caused by the topography remain, and the visibility is very short to 200m or less, so the driver’s attention is required.
In particular, in the case of a tunnel passing through Baekdu-daegan, the weather for the entering and exiting section changes rapidly, so it is necessary to maintain a sufficient distance between cars and drive at a reduced speed.
In addition, strong winds are expected to continue on the coast and at sea until tomorrow.
