This year's first snow is a heavy, humid snow with moisture.
It is three times heavier than ordinary eyes, causing damage to facilities collapsing throughout the metropolitan area.
I'll connect with a reporter on the field to find out more about the situation. Reporter Facial expression!

It seems like the snowstorm is still hitting hard.
[Reporter]
Yes, snow piled up on my head and clothes during the 10 minutes I stood here with strong winds along with the snow.
You can see the utility pole wires sprawling behind me.
Early this morning, the heavy snow, wet snow, broke the telephone pole and blocked the road to the village.
Now, telecommunications workers have come and taken the telephone poles, but residents of more than 60 households have been isolated because they have not been able to use the passage for about five hours.
Let's hear from the residents.
[Kim Seung-hyun / Witness: I was going to leave after the snow removal work, but I gave up now because I was stuck in traffic.]
About 15 minutes away, the garage collapsed due to the accumulated snow in the Okcheon-myeon farmhouse.
At around 8:40 a.m., a man in his 80s working on snow removal was laid on a garage tent,
He was taken to the hospital in cardiac arrest,
, but he died.
Police are investigating the details of the accident, believing that the roof of the garage collapsed because it could not bear the weight of the snow.
Strong heavy snow is expected to continue until tomorrow, so be careful of additional damage such as the collapse of facilities.
