– Heavy snow fell in the metropolitan area on the 6th, causing severe road congestion during the time of work. The Meteorological Administration predicted that the cold wave would reach its peak on the 7th.
According to the Meteorological Administration on the 6th, snow falls in the metropolitan area, Chungnam, and the west coast of Jeolla as of 8:00 pm, and there are places where snow sporadically falls in Chungbuk and Jeolla inland. Snow started to fall from late in the afternoon, and about 6.8cm of snow has accumulated in Seoul (Seocho).
Gwacheon, Gyeonggi Province, recorded 7.2 cm, Siheung, 5.3 cm, Chungnam Dangjin, 5.4 cm, and Jeollabuk-do, Jeongeup 6.6 cm. 33.3cm of heavy snow fell in the mountains of Jeju (Eorimok). Accordingly, the Meteorological Administration issued heavy snowfall warnings in the metropolitan area, Gangwon Yeongseo, Chungnam, the western Jeolla area, and the Jeju mountains.
In particular, as the snow cloud belt developed strongly locally, it snowed strongly at 2 to 5 cm per hour in southern Seoul and southern Gyeonggi Province. As the road turned into an icy road due to the sudden snowfall, cars were trapped in various places in the city center.
The Meteorological Administration said, “As the temperature is below freezing, the snow is still accumulating, and the visibility is very short in areas with strong snow, so we hope to secure a sufficient safe distance when driving a vehicle, and pay special attention to pedestrian accidents.”
The eyes of the metropolitan area will gradually weaken. However, as the cloud belt on the west sea moves southeast at night, more snow will fall in Chungcheong and Jeolla-do.
