Let's take a look at the situation in the Chungcheong area.

The heavy snow warning, which was issued mainly in northern Chungcheongbuk-do, has been lowered to a warning, but the snow continues.

Some roads were closed due to snow accumulation.

I'm connecting the reporters on the spot. Reporter Kim Ki-soo!

The place where reporter Kim is out is where the road is closed, right?

[Reporter]
The snow is piled up on the road as I see behind me.

It is a road connecting Noeun-myeon and Angseong-myeon, Chungju, and it is a habitual freezing section and has been controlled in advance to prevent accidents.

On the way here, I could see cars slowing down due to the snow accumulated overnight.

Citizens on the street also complain of inconvenience.

Let's listen to it for ourselves.

[Kim Young-ki / Iwol-myeon, Jincheon-gun, Chungcheongbuk-do: It's uncomfortable to walk on the road right now, the road was very wet, so I was scolded. I'm on my way to work....]

Jincheon, Eumseong, Chungju, and Jecheon in Chungcheongbuk-do have been lowered from a heavy snow warning to a warning.

Danyang maintains a heavy snow warning, but all the warnings in effect for the remaining six cities and counties, including Cheongju, have been lifted.

As of 11 a.m., the cumulative snowfall was 40.6cm in Jincheon Satellite Center, 25.5cm in Eumseong Geumwang, and 18.9cm in Jecheon.

The Korea Meteorological Administration predicted that more than 5 to 10cm of snow will fall in the central and northern regions of North Chungcheong Province, and more than 15cm in many places.

In addition, southern Chungcheongbuk-do expected 1 to 5cm of snow.

Please also tell me about the damage in detail.

[Reporter]
A lot of snow fell around the northern part of Chungcheong, causing snow damage everywhere.

At around 10:50 p.m. yesterday (10th), the roof of the shed in Ipjang-myeon, Cheonan-si collapsed without overcoming the weight of snow.Three cows died in the accident of

, and firefighters dispatched to the scene rescued 30 cows that were trapped.

At around 2:40 a.m., a car slipped on the snow in Iwol-myeon, Jincheon, Chungcheongbuk-do, and fortunately, there were no casualties.

In addition, a fallen tree could not overcome the weight of the snow and broke through the roof of the house.

More than 50 snow-related reports have been received by the Chungbuk Fire Department since 9 a.m. yesterday.

Fortunately, it has been found that there have been no cases of death.

Chungcheongbuk-do has issued the second stage of emergency and more than 700 people have been put on emergency duty.

The entire sections of Songnisan Mountain and Wolaksan Mountain, and some sections of Sobaeksan Mountain are controlled.

This snow is a wet snow that contains a lot of moisture.

As it is three times heavier than the average eye, special care should be taken to prevent damage to livestock and greenhouses.

The Central Safety Countermeasures Headquarters raised the heavy snow crisis warning to 'alert'.

The Ministry of Public Administration and Security urged people to refrain from outdoor activities, drive vehicles, and use public transportation, saying that overnight snow is feared to freeze roads.

So far, I'm Kim Ki-soo from YTN in Chungju, North Chungcheong Province.
