As you can see behind me, you can see a lot of vehicles standing on the road.

It seems that snow started falling at Seocho intersection a little while ago, and the congestion on the way home from work has also started in earnest.

In the case of Seocho-dong here, it snowed more than 10cm the most in Seoul on the 6th.

The amount of snow increased significantly as the snow accumulated at that time and the thick snow that fell all afternoon were added.

As a result of this, the nearby road was blocked, and the vehicle kept congesting, and a passenger in a taxi was seen walking down the middle of the road.

Currently, heavy snow warnings have been issued in Seoul and the metropolitan area.

These are Songpa-gu, Gangnam-gu, Seocho-gu, Gangseo-gu, Gwanak-gu, and Guro-gu, Seoul.

Heavy snow warnings were also in effect in Gimpo City, Goyang City, and Incheon, Gyeonggi Province.

With such thick snow falling, the entire road in downtown Seoul is walking a turtle.

Gangbyeonbuk-ro and Olympic-daero, as well as arterial roads, are standing and repeating.

Currently, both directions of the Bukaksan-gil in Seoul are controlled.

The streets of Jeongneung-ro and Sajik Park were also blocked.

As it is snowing, the city of Seoul has entered the second stage of emergency work.

We mobilize about 4,000 workers and 1,000 snow removal vehicles and equipment to perform snow removal.

Snow removal system has been sprayed on steep slopes and roads in advance.

However, it seems that there is a lot of snow and traffic congestion will continue as it continues to snow until night.

On the way home from work, you should use public transportation rather than a car.

If you are driving unavoidably, you should keep paying attention to traffic information and pay attention to ice roads.
