The snow pours out constantly so that you can’t see the front.

White snow quickly accumulates on sidewalks and driveways.

Citizens who have not yet prepared umbrellas cover their faces with bags and hats and hurry to walk.

Citizens’ discomfort continued as big snow began to fall around 8:30 yesterday in the metropolitan areas such as Seoul, Incheon, Ganghwa, and Gyeonggi.

In Jongno-gu, Seoul, there were also snow accidents, such as a vehicle slipping in heavy snow hitting a guardrail and overturning.

However, there has been no traffic disruption since the time of work has passed.

Even while it was snowing, the entire Seoul area showed a smooth flow without a control section.

In accordance with the heavy snow warning, the city of Seoul first sprayed snow removal agent in areas where traffic congestion was a concern, and when snow started to fall, snow removal was in a hurry.

The city of Seoul, which issued the second stage of snow removal, mobilized 9,000 manpower and 1,000 equipment to enter the emergency work system.

In addition, from 7 a.m. to 9:30 a.m., we decided to increase the number of subway operations during rush hours by 36 times and extend the minimum interval for city buses by 30 minutes.
