War with snow continues in mountain villages in Gangwon Province, where heavy snow has poured for three days.

The snow stopped, but this time, a cold wave of around minus 15 degrees Celsius is causing slow recovery and snow removal.

Reporter Song Se-hyuk visited Pyeongchang Mountain Village.

A mountain village 700m above sea level with more than 30cm of heavy snow.The

fields and houses were all covered in white snow.

Even in the midst of heavy snowstorms, residents are struggling to clear the snow from early morning.

Especially as there is a risk of the house collapsing, the snow on the roof should be cleaned up in a hurry.

However, snow removal is progressing slowly due to the extreme cold of around minus 15 degrees Celsius.

There was only a passageway that one person could walk through in the yard.

[Yoo Bok-hwan / Pyeongchang-gun, Gangwon-do: It's going to freeze because it's mixed with rain and snow. So it's quite hard to remove snow.]

Farm tractors are mobilized throughout the village's inner road to push away the snow accumulated on the road.

[Ham Joo-ho / Pyeongchang-gun, Gangwon-do: I'm embarrassed because it's a lot after the first snow and I'm not done farming yet....]

This is the bridge where the snow was removed. However, the strong wind blew the snow back to the height of the ankle.

The greenhouses that couldn't beat the weight of the snow have collapsed one after another, but I don't know where to start.

The snow has stopped, but the residents of the mountain villages continue to struggle with the snow in the cold.
