[Weather] Dangerously cold day with snow in Jeolla-do

After the long Seollal holiday last week, Korea is in the grip of a deep freeze, making a rougher week for many of us in Korea. Dangerously cold temperatures continue nationwide. Factor in the wind, and it feels even colder.

Blustery winds and heavy snowfall are also making for hazardous travel conditions, especially along the west coast and Jeju Island. Some areas are getting a significant amount of snow accumulation. Jeolla-do Province and surrounding areas could see up to 15 centimeters of snowfall through tomorrow morning. Heavy snow alerts remain in place for those regions and Jeju, so if you're traveling to these areas, be prepared for delays.

Seoul stays under sunny skies with a high of minus 5 degrees, and Busan at 3 degrees. The east coast is under a strong and dry weather advisory, so fire precaution is a must.

This cold snap isn't going anywhere. The big freeze will stick around through the weekend. Until then, bundle up, and limit time outdoors. Stay warm and safe!
