With the arrival of a strong underground cold wave, the temperature experienced in Seoul dropped to -20 degrees below zero. The west coast and Jeju Island became a snowy world with strong winds and heavy snowfalls of more than 20 cm. This is reporter Jung Hye-yoon. Big snow falls from the sky. In freezing cold, snow quickly accumulates on the ground. Cars move carefully on slippery roads with the headlights on. In Gwangju, where the first heavy snow warning was issued this winter, snowfall of more than 15 cm fell. Heavy snow accompanied by strong winds fell on Jeju Island. There was a large wave of up to 5 m in the sea and heavy snow fell constantly inland. As the snow fell on the road, even the medium bus slipped on the sloping road. The snow was concentrated on the west coast and on the island areas. This is because the Arctic cold, with an air temperature of -30 degrees Celsius, passed over the relatively warm sea and snow clouds formed and affected it. The interior, which was not affected by the snow clouds, suffered the strongest cold wave this winter. The temperature in the Gangwon Mountains fell below -20 degrees Celsius, below -13.9 degrees Celsius in Paju and Cheorwon, and 12.4 degrees below freezing in Seoul. In particular, as the cold wind blew, the temperature experienced remained around -20 degrees Celsius in the city center. The cold waves, strong winds and heavy snowfall are expected to continue until the last day of 2020 and the first day of the New Year. After that, the temperature will rise for a while, but the Arctic cold will return and General Dong is expected to continue until early January. This is YTN Jeong Hye-yoon.
