[Capture news] "This winter is the strongest"..."Trembling" on the way to work.

This winter's strongest cold spell on the way to work.

In the fierce wind, citizens rush to step with their gloves and hats covered and crouched.

Seoraksan Mountain was the coldest in the country at minus 25.1 degrees Celsius yesterday morning as a strong chill of minus 40 degrees Celsius descended from the upper floor,
At minus 16.9 degrees Celsius in
and minus 10.2 degrees Celsius in Seoul, the lowest temperature this winter was recorded in many parts of the country.

The wind was also strong, so the wind chill fell below minus 30 degrees Celsius in mountainous areas, and it reached minus 17.8 degrees Celsius in Seoul.

[Kim Hyunsik / Seo-gu, Daejeon: I started the car in the morning, and the bottled water in the car was also frozen. It's very cold anyway.]

[Kim Se-jin / Gwanak-gu, Seoul: It's so cold and my skin stings. It's so cold that it's so windy that you can't hear it well when I talk next to you.]

The water bottle outside as an experiment in the extreme cold completely froze in three hours.

YTN reporters poured water into cup noodles at around 6 a.m. and placed them on the asphalt floor, and in about four hours, the noodles were frozen and the chopsticks were floating in the air.

Even in the middle of the day, the wind chill is below minus 15 degrees Celsius, so it is not melted and frozen like a model.

Most of the country was stuck in the freezing cold all day, with the highest temperature in Seoul standing at -7.6 degrees Celsius.

With the cold wave warning extended to parts of Honam and Yeongnam, the extreme cold continues until this morning.

[Kim Young-joon / Meteorological Agency Forecast Analysts: There will be places with the lowest temperatures this winter as radiative cooling is added between dawn and morning on Friday, the 10th.]

The bitter cold is expected to rise until the morning of the weekend and gradually increase in temperature from the afternoon.
