In Gangwon Province, where the first snow fell, several heavy snow accidents overlapped and caused casualties.

The road management authorities are also in a state of emergency.

I'm connecting with the reporter. Reporter Ji Hwan!

[Reporter]
It's a snow removal car garage in Chuncheon, Gangwon-do.

[Anchor]
As the snow forecast continues, it's also an emergency, right?

[Reporter]
That's right.

There is a line of snow removal vehicles behind me.

When there is heavy snow, we can see a lot.

It is a vehicle that sprays calcium chloride inside and outside the city and cleans up the accumulated snow.

There are about 40 units here alone.

It ran nonstop from 10 o'clock last night to this morning.

There is a forecast that it will snow again in the Yeongseo area of Gangwon-do tonight and early in the morning, so I am taking a break for the night shift.

It snows a lot in Gangwon Province.

These snowplow vehicles are arranged everywhere.

Today alone, more than 600 vehicles were put in, and nearly 3,000 tons of snow removal was sprayed.

But there were still a lot of snow traffic accidents here and there.

There were also casualties.

Especially, I'm telling you again, the snow this time is very heavy.

We looked at the site all afternoon, especially conifers with leaves like pine trees that often collapsed because they couldn't beat the snow weight.

Until this morning, more than 30 reports of damage were reported that trees fell or roads were blocked in Gangwon Province alone.

In addition, 67 national park trails in Gangwon Province, including Seoraksan, Chiaksan, and Odaesan, have been completely restricted.

I think it's snowing now.

You're also concerned about additional damage to facilities, right?

[Reporter]
That's right.

Snow is currently full anywhere in the mountains of Gangwon-do.

Many places, including Daehwa-myeon, Pyeongchang, recorded more than 20cm of snow.

Snowflakes are flying now, but heavy snow warnings are still in effect in Wonju and Hoengseong from the afternoon, and heavy snow warnings are still in effect in the south-central Gangwon Province and mountains.

More than 20cm of snow is expected to fall by tomorrow, mainly in the mountains of Gangwon-do.

As I said earlier, it's very humid, so my eyes are very heavy.

We went around rural areas in the morning, and we are concerned about additional damage to greenhouses and ginseng fields.

travel to various sites As it turns out, the road conditions are not good everywhere, including highways, national roads, local roads, and side roads.

On my way home from work, the road will freeze again at night.

It requires special attention from drivers.

So far, I'm YTN Jihwan at the snowplow garage in Chuncheon, Gangwon-do.
