Over 20cm of heavy snow fell in the central part of the country, including Seoul, overnight, and heavy snow warnings were issued everywhere.

There are some places where snow has weakened for a while now, but caution is needed as up to 20cm more snow is expected in the central interior by tomorrow.

We will connect with reporters to find out the detailed eye situation and prospects.

Reporter Kim Min-kyung, it's the first snow and it's literally 'heavy snow'.

A heavy snow warning was also issued in some parts of Seoul, how much did it fall overnight?

[Reporter]
Yes, there was more than 20cm of heavy snow in the central part, including 22.8cm in Daehwa-myeon, Pyeongchang, Gangwon-do, 22cm in Yongmunsan, Yangpyeong, Gyeonggi-do, 20.6cm in Seongbuk-gu, Seoul, and 20.4cm in Gangbuk-gu.

This is because the trough containing the cold air of the upper layer passed through the central region overnight.

Heavy snow warnings in Hongcheon and Pyeongchang, Gangwon Province, were eased as warnings, but
Following the northeastern region, heavy snow warnings have been issued in the southwestern and northwest regions of Seoul, and heavy snow warnings are in effect in Gwangju and Yangpyeong in Gyeonggi Province, Jinan in Jeollabuk-do Province, and five islands in the West Sea.

A heavy snow warning has been issued in the Seoul metropolitan area, Gangwon Province, parts of Honam and Yeongnam, and the mountains of Jeju.

As the troughs that had affected them until dawn move, snow clouds gradually fall to the east, and in some areas, snow weakens.

However, snow clouds continue to flow from the west, so the snow is expected to continue throughout the day as it repeats its strength and weakness.

Not only the snow, but the wind is also a problem.Strong winds of around 20 meters per second are expected across the country, with strong winds extending not only to the coast of

but also to Chungcheong and some inland areas of Gyeonggi Province.

It's already snowed a lot, but the central part of the country will get up to 20cm more by tomorrow?

[Reporter]
Yes, with snow clouds continuing to come in from the west, a crisis is expected tonight as well.

This is because strong snow clouds are expected to flow in once again tonight as the pressure trough on the upper floors of Korea rotates counterclockwise.

The Korea Meteorological Administration (KMA) predicts that up to 20cm more snow will fall in the mountains and metropolitan areas of Gangwon Province and 15cm more in Chungcheong, Honam and Jeju by tomorrow.

In particular, as this snow is a "heavy snow" full of moisture, there is concern about the collapse of outdoor facilities such as greenhouses as additional snow is added in a situation where a lot of snow has already fallen.

The snow will begin to stop gradually from tomorrow afternoon, but Chungcheong, Honam, and Jeju Island are expected to continue until the day after tomorrow.
