Yes, it is.

In Seoul, it started to snow lightly about an hour and a half ago.

The snow is very thick now.

In an hour and a half, a lot of snow piled up 5cm, which is the standard of heavy snowfall.

It will snow so strongly for about an hour from now and then it will gradually weaken.

The weather is also cold here.

Currently, the temperature in Seoul has dropped to -5 degrees.

In the future, as the temperature decreases, there will be many places where the snow falls as it is.

Please pay special attention to traffic accidents and falls.

Currently, snow is falling in the metropolitan area, Chungnam, and Honam.

With more snow clouds flowing inland, it will snow in most parts of the country, and the inland regions will gradually stop from midnight.

Heavy snow of up to 50 cm in the mountains of Jeju, where snow continues until the day after tomorrow, more than 30 cm in the western part of Honam, and up to 20 cm in the inland of Honam and the west coast of Chungnam, will also pour.

In the metropolitan area such as Seoul, Gangwon, Chungcheong and Yeongnam inland, up to 10cm of snow will accumulate until tomorrow.

As much snow was expected, heavy snow warnings were issued in the metropolitan area, Chungnam, and western Honam.

During the night, a heavy snow warning will take effect in Gangwon, Chungbuk, and the southern inland.

As the temperature drops drastically between tonight, the strongest cold wave will come tomorrow this winter.

Amid cold weather warnings in most regions, the temperature in the morning of Cheorwon will drop to -20 degrees, Paju -17 degrees, and Seoul -15 degrees.

Even in the middle of the day, the temperature in Seoul stays at -10 degrees Celsius, Daejeon -8 degrees, and Gwangju -6 degrees.

The day after tomorrow, the temperature in the morning of Seoul will drop to -17 degrees, and a cold wave will reach its peak.

The cold wave will ease from next week.
