A hillside with snow...Citizens' steps are "Coughing."

Heavy snow in the Seoul metropolitan area overnight...'Be careful' on the way to work
I try to grab the cold handle, but...The stairs were reported as 'slippery'
, 'vehicle cannot go up and down the hill' one after another.

As the heavy snow continued, each neighborhood had hills, and snow piled up everywhere.

In particular, snow removal work on side roads and alleys is slow, so citizens' steps are bound to be delayed.

Reporter Lim Ye-jin reports.

early in the morning,

I went to work earlier than others, but the snow didn't stop falling all night.

Citizens coming down the stairs try to hold on to the cold handle like an ice sheet in case they fall.

As the sun rises, I sweep away each step with a broom, but it's slow to clear the snow.

[Kim Chunja / Kumho-dong, Seoul: It's hard. The snow is wet and heavy because it's water, and there are many accidents here because it's stairs. He slipped and got hurt a lot.]

Everyone walks carefully down the hill,

Be careful of behaviors that can lead to loss of balance, such as walking with pockets in both hands like this because the weather is cold.

When snow removal doesn't speed up, they come forward.

[KIM DO YOUNG / Kumho-dong, Seoul: People come out and clean the alley, but not many people do that. Everyone is busy going to work.]

Police and firefighters also reported that vehicles could not climb up and down the hill.

Elderly people and pregnant women should be especially careful because falling while walking on a slippery icy road can seriously hurt them, such as broken bones.
