[Weather] More freezing temperatures and return of snow in most regions this afternoon

It has been an absolutely frigid week here, with a cold wave warning remaining in place for most of the central parts of Korea. In Seoul, we woke up to lows of around -12 degrees Celsius, but with the wind chill, it feels even colder. And if you think that's bad, some parts of Gangwon Province, have dropped to minus 20 degrees.

Snow and bitterly cold winds are making conditions even tougher for the west coast of Jeolla-do Province and Jeju with 3 to 8 centimeters of more snow in store through this morning.

THEN snow returns to central regions continuing into Friday. The capital could see up to 5 centimeters, Jeollabuk-do Province could be getting 5 to 10 centimeters of snowfall. Be careful out on the roads.

Bone-chilling temperatures will ease just a bit with highs jumping to above freezing in Seoul at 1 degree, Daegu and Gwangju at 3 degrees.

We'll have to wait until early next week to see some much-needed cold relief. Stay warm and keep those hot drinks close.
