Heavy snow in S. Korea's central regions

2019-02-19 5

We are seeing so much snow here in Seoul and lo and behold... heavy snow advisories have been issued for multiple cities across Korea today.
And our Kim Da-mi is out at Gangnam Station where people are braving the snowy weather.
So Dami, how's the commuting like there.... and are we expecting this heavy snow nationwide?

Hi Jiyoon, it started to snow heavily here in Seoul just a few hours ago,...
and the Korea Meteorological Administration has warned commuters to be extra careful and take public transportation due to the weather conditions.
The weather agency has issued snow advisories for major cities including Seoul, Incheon and Sejong…
Heavy snow advisories are issued when there's more than 5cm of snow within 24 hours.
Gyeonggi-do and Gangwon-do Provinces are expected to be coated with around five centimeters of snow.
Southern regions, on the other hand, are seeing some rain,... with 10 to 40 millimeters of rain on Jeju Island.

So at this point, we're all wondering when all this rain and snow will stop?

The weather agency has said the snow will stop falling by 3pm here in Seoul and in most other areas by 6pm.
February 19th marks the first full moon of the lunar year, known as Jeongwol Daeboreum .
After all the rain and snow, the sky will not be that clear,... but the first full moon of the lunar year will be seen in between the clouds tonight.
Until then, drivers and pedestrians are warned to stay cautious on the slippery roads. That's it from me now but I'll keep you updated on the weather throughout the day.
