This year's first snow is a heavy, humid snow with moisture.
It is three times heavier than ordinary eyes, causing damage to facilities collapsing throughout the metropolitan area.
I'll connect with a reporter on the field to find out more about the situation. Reporter Facial expression!

The snowstorm seems to have stopped now.
[Reporter]
Yes, the snowstorm that used to fall hard has stopped for a while now.
However, as you can see behind me, utility pole wires are spread out on the floor.
Early this morning, the heavy snow, the wet snow piled up, and the telephone pole broke without being able to bear the weight, and the wires collapsed together.
Now, telecommunications workers have come and taken the telephone poles, but residents of more than 60 households have been isolated because they have not been able to use the passage for about five hours.
Let's hear from the victims.
[Kim Seung-hyun / Witness: I was going to leave after the snow removal work, but I gave up now because I was stuck in traffic.]
About 15 minutes away, the garage collapsed due to the accumulated snow in the Okcheon-myeon farmhouse.
At around 8:40 a.m., a man in his 80s working on snow removal was laid on a garage tent,
He was taken to the hospital in cardiac arrest,
, but he died.
Police are investigating the details of the accident, believing that the roof of the garage collapsed because it could not bear the weight of the snow.
From last night to 1 p.m. today, more than 200 reports of damage caused by heavy snow were received in the Gyeonggi area alone.
Strong heavy snow is expected to continue until tomorrow, so be careful of additional damage such as the collapse of facilities.
