It snowed quite a lot in the morning in the mountains and inland areas of Gangwon-do today, which is the winter solstice and weekend.

Most of the snow has stopped and the weather warning has been lifted, but the extreme cold is predicted this time.

Please tell us about the snow!

In the afternoon, all the snow stopped.

Snow is piled up only in mountainous areas or shaded areas.

We are located in Daeryongsan Mountain, east of Chuncheon, Gangwon-do.

Daeryongsan Mountain is located in the east of Chuncheon.

The snow is piled up as much as you can see behind me.

Snow flowers bloomed on the winter mountain behind, and they are mixed with the wind and blown away.

We told you that we're in Imdo, but that's Imdo.

I see someone taking a walk with their dog.

Snow piled up and now I've cleaned up a lot, but I think it'll be a little slippery in the afternoon.

There were more people taking a walk, but it snowed a lot today, so it decreased.

It snowed heavily in Gangwon Province today.

The heavy snow warning took effect and was lifted in the afternoon.

If you look at the cumulative snowfall, it is about 10cm around the mountainous area.

I was very worried because it was Saturday on the weekend, but the first stage of emergency was issued in advance yesterday.

Fortunately, the road snow removal is in good condition.

No snow damage has been reported.

However, due to safety, more than 30 hiking trails in major national parks were closed.

The problem is the unwelcome customer after the heavy snow, the cold wave.

In Gangwon Province, a rather warm December continued, and the scheduled winter festival was postponed.

Today, as soon as the snow stops, a cold wave warning is in place in Yeongseo and most of the mountains in Gangwon Province.

There is a high risk of icy roads from the evening, so you need to be careful of falling accidents.

In particular, there will be many people coming to the ski resort ahead of Christmas next week.

Near bridges and tunnels in Gangwon Province, where there are many bridges and tunnels, you should slow down as thin ice or black ice may occur.

It's quite windy, too.

From this afternoon, please pay special attention to safety as the wind is added.

So far, I'm YTN Jihwan from Daeryongsan Mountain in Chuncheon, Gangwon Province.
