White ice was created throughout the artificial waterfall that was pouring down.

On the other hand, Icicles with big, bushy icicles are also noticeable.

It's a trace of snow and cold weather repeatedly,

Especially last night, Seoul's temperature dropped to minus 7.7 degrees Celsius, the lowest this winter, and the wind chill hit minus 12 degrees Celsius, making ice all over the waterfall from early winter.

In addition, the temperature in Anheung-myeon, Hoengseong, Gangwon-do, recorded minus 19.4 degrees,
Temperatures in Daejeon (-6.6), Jeonju (-4.2), and Daegu (-3.7) also dropped to around minus 5 degrees Celsius in
ironclad, minus 14.9 degrees Celsius in Paju, and minus 14.9 degrees Celsius in Paju.

Cold air below minus 35 degrees Celsius fell sharply from the northern sky of the Korean Peninsula,

Earlier this week, the central part of the country will continue to experience extreme cold conditions below minus 10 degrees Celsius, especially in some areas where temperatures will drop below minus 15 degrees Celsius.

[Yoon Ik-sang/ Forecaster of the Korea Meteorological Administration: In Yeoncheon, Cheorwon, and Yanggu regions, temperatures are expected to drop below minus 15 degrees Celsius on the morning of the 23rd, strengthening the cold wave warning on the 22nd.In areas where the cold wave warning is in effect, prepare for freezing waves such as water meters and boilers, and pay attention to health care due to low temperatures.]

In addition, cold wave warnings have been issued in Gyeonggi Province, Gangwon Province, and Chungcheong Province, and a cold wave of below -12 degrees Celsius is expected to continue, so continuous preparation is needed.

In Seoul, there is no cold wave warning, but the temperature will rise to minus 10 degrees Celsius until Christmas Eve, and the extreme cold will continue.

The Korea Meteorological Administration (KMA) said another strong cold spell is expected to come south later this week, with a cold temperature of around minus 10 degrees Celsius, and asked for attention to repeated cold waves for the time being.
