– Initially, the Meteorological Administration predicted, “It is expected that there will be a lot of snow intensively in the Seoul metropolitan area and Gangwon Yeongseo area between dawn and morning.” However, contrary to the forecast by the Meteorological Administration, there was some snow in Seoul the night before, but it did not snow enough to record snowfall from dawn until the rush hour.
In response, the Meteorological Administration said, “As the southwest wind flows into the south of the pneumatic valley, which is located near the Balhae Bay, it is expected that the cloud band will develop due to the cold air in the interior. The lull is getting longer.”
Meteorological Office reporter Yoon Ki-han explained, “Because the southwest flow is weaker than expected, the snow cloud belt fortunately moved out of Seoul at night, and as it passed through the southern part of Gyeonggi Province, Chungcheong and Jeolla Province, a lot of snow fell around the area.”
In fact, a lot of snow fell in the southern part of Gyeonggi Province, including 9.3 cm in Anseong, Gyeonggi Province, 6.3 cm in Pyeongtaek and 3.5 cm in Suwon. Gangwon-do Hongcheon (Guryongryeong) 17.9cm, Chungbuk Jecheon 7.4cm, Jeonbuk Gochang 12cm, Gwangju 7.3cm, etc. There is a lot of snow piled up in Gangwon, Chungcheong, and Jeolla-do.
The snow in the metropolitan area and Gangwon Yeongseo will drop until around 6 pm and then gradually stop. The southern region and the Chungcheong area will continue to snow until 3 pm. Estimated snowfall will be 3~8cm in the central region, Jeolla, Gyeongbuk (excluding the eastern coast), Gyeongnam (excluding the eastern coast), and Jeju Island, and many places will fall more than 10cm around the central and southern part of Yeongseo, Gangwon-do. The east coast of Gangwon, the east coast of Gyeongbuk, and Jeju Island (excluding mountain areas) are expected to see 1cm of snow.
After that, as the temperature drops significantly, there is a high possibility that the snow will freeze, causing a traffic disruption on the way home from work. The Meteorological Agency said, “In snowy areas, the visibility is short and there will be a lot of ice roads due to a lot of snow accumulation or freezing, so please pay special attention to pedestrians and traffic safety so as not to damage such as collisions by maintaining a sufficient distance between cars when driving a vehicle. I asked.
