Heavy snow warnings are in place on the west coast of Chungnam and Jeonbuk.

In the inland area of Chungnam, the special snow report is expected to gradually expand.

I'm connecting the reporter who is on the scene. Reporter Kim Ki-soo!

Please tell me about the situation on the ground.

Yes, the place behind me is where you can take a cruise at Daecheon Port.

It's a pile of snow that fell overnight.

It's not snowing right now, but it's so cold that it's hard to stand still.

A heavy snow warning is in effect in five cities and counties, including Boryeong, Seocheon, and Taean in Chungcheongnam-do.

In addition, six cities and counties, including Gongju, Nonsan, and Buyeo, Chungcheongnam-do, have been given a preliminary special warning for heavy snow.

As of 6 a.m. today, snow has been recorded 14.7cm in Gyeryongsan Mountain, Chungcheongnam-do, 11.7cm in Chunjangdae, Seocheon, and 9.4cm in Sejongjeonui.

As temperatures fell, a cold wave warning was issued in inland areas such as Cheonan and Asan in Chungcheongnam-do,

A strong wind warning has been issued around the west coast of Chungnam.

In some places, strong winds of 20m per second will blow.

Chungnam Fire Department explained that there were three reports of removing icicles or requesting snow removal overnight, but there were no separate casualties.

The Korea Meteorological Administration expected more than 5 to 10cm of snow in Chungcheongnam-do today, and more than 15cm in many places.

A special snow warning has also been issued in Jeollabuk-do, right?

[Reporter]
Yes. That's right.

A heavy snow warning is in effect across Jeollabuk-do.

Cold wave warnings have been issued in five cities and counties in inland areas, including Wanju, Muju, and Jinan.

Snow is forecast to be 5 to 15cm in the Jeonbuk region, and more than 20cm in the west coast and southern inland areas.

Due to a lot of snow and cold waves, the minimum temperature in the morning will drop from minus 10 degrees to 15 degrees Celsius in some inland areas of northern Jeollabuk-do.

The Korea Meteorological Administration predicted heavy, strong snow and wet snow on the west coast.

Accordingly, caution was advised against damage to facilities such as livestock and the collapse of a greenhouse.

The Ministry of Public Administration and Security launched the first phase of the Central Disaster and Safety Countermeasures Headquarters and raised the level of the heavy snow crisis warning from attention to caution as a heavy snow warning was issued in Honam and Chungcheong provinces.

In snowy areas, there may be short visibility and icy roads and thin ice on roads, so caution should be taken in driving vehicles.

The temperature is expected to drop sharply, so please refrain from outdoor activities as much as possible.

So far, I'm Kim Ki-soo from YTN in Boryeong, Chungcheongnam-do.
