Snow removal work in Samcheon-dong, Chuncheon-si, Gangwon-do, where a lot of snow fell on the 4th of last month. The snow that falls on a day is more clumpy and heavier than the snow last month, and the damage to the facilities can be great, so be careful. yunhap news
On the first day of March, rain pours across the country, and a lot of snow falls in the mountainous regions. This snow is’heavy snow’ with moisture, and especially in Gangwon-do, where there is a lot of snow, it is necessary to prepare for damage to facilities such as roof collapse.
According to the Meteorological Administration on the 1st, a strong rain cloud rains all over the country as it enters the sphere of influence of the low pressure that has approached Korea from near Shandong Peninsula, China. 1~3cm of snow per hour began to accumulate in the central and northern regions of Gangwon, where the temperature was low, and snow is falling on the northern east coast of Gangwon.
Gangwon up to 50㎝… Heavy snow in March
On the 1st, heavy snow warnings were issued in the mountainous areas of Gangwon-do, Goseong, Sokcho, and Yangyang. The heavy snow news is expected to gradually expand. Materials Meteorological Agency
It is predicted that the east wind continues to blow and the temperature decreases from the afternoon, and the snow will increase further. Heavy snow warnings have been issued in the mountainous areas of Gangwon-do and Goseong, Sokcho, and Yangyang, and the heavy snow warning is expected to gradually expand to all of Gangwon-do, Gyeongbuk and Gyeonggi-do.
Until the afternoon of the 2nd, in Gangwon-Yeong-dong area, 10~40cm, in many places, there may be more than 50cm. Gangwon Yeongseo and North Gyeongsang Province are expected to snow 5 to 15 cm, and eastern and northern Gyeonggi and 3 to 8 cm snow. 1~5cm of snow falls on northern Chungbuk and Ulleungdo and Dokdo.
“Eyes that are three times heavier than usual”
Heavy snow falls in Gyo-dong, Gangneung-si, Gangwon-do in February 2011. The snow falling on Gangwon-do in February is usually humid and heavy snow due to the influence of the sea breeze, but this snow is expected to be particularly heavier, the Meteorological Administration explained.

The Meteorological Agency was concerned that this snow could be particularly damaging to facilities because it is’heavy snow (wet)’. Compared to snow (construction) where each snow crystal freezes and does not clump well, snow with moisture clumps easily and is heavy. In winter, on the west coast of Jeollanam-do, snow with such moisture falls, causing damage to facilities such as greenhouses collapse. In Gangwon-do on the 1st, the temperature is lower than in Jeonnam, making it even colder and heavy snow.
Forecast analyst Woo Jin-gyu of the Meteorological Administration explained, “Currently, in Gangwon-do, cold and humid air from the east is laid underneath, and warm and humid air from the south is placed on top of it, and it snows while cooling down.” He added, “The humidity in the air that snow is formed and falls is so high that moisture penetrates between the snow crystals and attaches the crystals and falls into heavy snow.”

Usually, when construction falls in Gangwon-do, 1mm of precipitation is equivalent to 2~4cm of snowfall, but this snow is likely to fall with 1mm of precipitation less than 1cm.
Analyst Woo said, “It is more than three times more compressed than the snow that was frozen in the cold winter.” “The snow falling with the cold wave in the winter is’construction’, so even if 10 cm is accumulated, the roof is crumbling and light, so the roof does not collapse. He called for caution, saying, “The weight that can cause the roof to collapse if it is accumulated in centimeters”. In 2011, heavy snowfall in Gangwon-do also suffered heavy damage, such as the collapse of the roof of the traditional market.

By the afternoon of the 2nd, it is expected that it will rain 30~80mm in central regions such as the metropolitan area, Gangwon-do, North Chungcheong, and the east coast of Gyeongnam, and more than 100mm in the eastern part of Gyeonggi and many places in Gangwon-do. There are places where the mountain range of Jeju Island falls more than 30~80mm, or more than 100mm. As rain clouds develop strongly, thunder and lightning are expected along with gusts.
The rain is expected to exceed 20 to 60 mm in the inland areas of Chungcheong, Jeolla-do, the inland of Gyeonghang and the southern part of Jeju Island, and up to 80 mm in the southern coast of Jeollanam-do and the vicinity of Mt. In the northern part of Jeju, on the west sea, on the 5th island, and on Ulleungdo and Dokdo, 10-40mm of rain falls.
On the 1st, as the south wind continues to blow, the maximum temperature during the day rises to 5~18 degrees, but as cold air comes in from the north from night, the temperature on the way to work on the 2nd drops to below freezing.
