Snow is piling up in the city center, but mountainous areas are literally heavy snow.

Damage such as vehicle isolation or facility collapse is feared at first sight.

Yes, it's in Hongcheon, Gangwon Province.

Is it snowing a lot there, too?

It rained quite a lot yesterday afternoon in Gangwon-do.

Since night, the rain has turned into heavy snow.

This is Hongcheon Seomyeon area.

It's somewhat reduced now, but it was a bit of thick snow until a while ago.

The cold air from the north created snow clouds and poured them into the mountains.

Let's take a look here. It's a place to go to the countryside village. My feet are falling in love.

I think it snowed about 10 centimeters. Snow piled up on the electric line above the tree and on the vehicle.

Please show it to us in the distance. Snow flowers bloomed white in all the mountains, east, west, north, and south.

The cold air from the north creates snow clouds and pours them into the mountains.

The elderly people in the distance are coming out and cleaning up the snow as they sweep the village.

Let's take a look right next to it. This is the ginseng field.

Snow piled heavily on the ginseng field, on facilities, or greenhouses.

Snow warnings are in place here in Hongcheon and Pyeongchang, and heavy snow warnings are in place for the rest of Gangwon Province.

It snowed close to 10 to 20 cm in Seoseok in Hongcheon, Daehwa in Pyeongchang, and Misiryeong.

In particular, mountains and highlands are buried in the snow white.

It was dry ahead of winter in some areas, and it helped with seaweeds.

But now I'm worried about the snow bomb.

Many places in the mountains of Gangwon-do have snow forecasts of more than 30cm in the future.

Moreover, the snow this time is very heavy.

It's a 'wet snow' that contains a lot of water vapor.

In rural and mountainous areas, there is a concern about damage to facilities such as greenhouses.

It snows on the way to work and the road conditions are very bad.

When we came this way, the highway was not properly snow-removed.

The biggest concern is driver isolation.

People who come to Gangwon Province, where there are many uphill and downhill, should pack safety gear such as car chains and shovels.

The road authorities and each local government in charge of snow removal are also on alert from dawn.

More than 600 snow removal vehicles will be deployed to spray more than 2,400 tons of snow removal agent.

In the case of Gangwon-do, please refrain from driving the vehicle as much as possible and if you are forced to drive, make sure to drive slowly.

This is YTN Jihwan in Hongcheon, Gangwon-do, where a heavy snow warning has been issued so far.
