Is the place you see back where the damage occurred?

[Reporter]
As I can see behind me, the shield of the ginseng field has completely collapsed.

It collapsed as it was because it couldn't overcome the weight of the snow.

Residents of nearby villages say they cannot come and go due to overnight snow.

Let's listen to it for ourselves.

[Kim Myung-soon / Noeun-myeon, Chungju-si, Chungcheongbuk-do: There are no grandmothers in the senior citizen center, and there is no one outside the house to clean up the snow, but everyone is sitting (in the house). I've been walking around a little bit, and you can't come out because you're scared....]

Snow warnings are in place in Jincheon, Eumseong, Chungju, Jecheon, and Danyang in Chungcheongbuk-do.All warnings in effect for the remaining six cities and counties, including

Cheongju, have been lifted.

As of 1 p.m., the cumulative snowfall was 40.6cm at Jincheon Satellite Center, 27.1cm at Eumseong Geumwang, and 19.1cm at Chungju Noeun.

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]
It snowed a lot mainly in the northern part of Chungcheong.

Damage is being identified 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.

In Eumseong, North Chungcheong Province, a house that stores factory items collapsed after failing to overcome the weight of snow.

More than 80 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 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.
