Today, the season's "Dongji," heavy snow warnings have been issued around Gangwon and North Chungcheong provinces, and strong snow of 1 to 3 cm per hour will fall by morning.

Snow will mostly stop in the afternoon, but after that, cold air will come down and the temperature will drop significantly.

I'm connecting with the reporter. Reporter Kim Minkyung!

How much snow did it fall overnight?

Yes, snow accumulated 10.1cm in Idong-myeon, Pocheon, Gyeonggi-do, 10cm in Daehwa-myeon, Pyeongchang, Gangwon-do, 6.6cm in Cheongcheon-myeon, Goesan, Chungcheongbuk-do, and 2.7cm in Seoul overnight.

Currently, heavy snow warnings are issued in Gangwon and Chungcheong provinces, some Jeonbuk and Jeju mountains,

It's still snowing all over the inland.

By morning, Gangwon, Chungcheong, and eastern Jeollabuk-do are expected to receive strong and heavy snow of 1 to 3 cm per hour, so caution is needed.

Along with snow, smog from China is also added, and air quality is not good in the Midwest.

As of 8 a.m., ultra-fine dust concentrations in Jeonbuk, Gwangju, and Jeju were 'bad',
Smog from China is expected to flow in by the afternoon of
and there is a possibility that the concentration of ultrafine dust will temporarily deteriorate to 'bad' in the Seoul metropolitan area and Chungcheong area, where the concentration of ultrafine dust is currently normal.

Most of the snow will stop in the afternoon, but the west coast of Honam is expected to continue until tomorrow morning and Jeju Island will continue until tomorrow afternoon.

The temperature drops sharply as soon as the snow stops?

[Reporter]
Correct.
This is because cold air comes down from the northwest behind clouds that have rained snow all over the interior of
.

The morning temperature in Seoul was 0.7 degrees today, about 4 degrees higher than usual.

However, tomorrow morning, the temperature is expected to be 7 degrees lower than today as Seoul drops to minus 6 degrees Celsius.

In the central inland, Jeonbuk, and Gyeongbuk inland, the morning temperature is expected to be around minus 10 degrees Celsius, with a significant decrease of 5 to 10 degrees Celsius from today.

In particular, cold winds are expected to blow strongly across the country tomorrow, so the wind chill will be lower, and some places will reach minus 11 degrees Celsius in Seoul and minus 20 degrees Celsius in the central and northern regions.

The cold will ease for a while by recovering to normal temperatures in the middle of the week, but the temperature will drop again after that, and the extreme cold is expected to come around the weekend.
