As the snow cloud belt from the west sea entered the inland, it started to snow in the metropolitan area. Areas with snowfall in the afternoon are expected to gradually expand. In particular, this snow is expected to fall intensively until just before the end of the day.
The Meteorological Administration said on the 12th that “the snow cloud belt created by the pneumatic valley passing through the north is developing and is advancing northeast at a speed of 40 km per hour.”
According to the Korea Meteorological Administration, this snow is expected to fall most strongly between 3pm and 6pm. After that, the intensity gradually weakens and most of the snow will stop before 9 pm. The Meteorological Administration predicted that the snow cloud belt will move northeast and snow will fall until 9 p.m. in the eastern part of Gyeonggi Province.
In the metropolitan area, it is expected that it will snow about 1~3cm, but in some areas there are places where snow accumulates a little more due to the geographical influence.
The Meteorological Agency said, “The snowing time interlocks with the time of work and traffic congestion is expected because the road is slippery due to the snow falling.” Also, he added, “Please pay special attention to the safety of pedestrians as the side roads, sloped roads, and shaded roads will be slippery due to snow accumulation.”

On the 6th, heavy snow fell on the way home from work in Seoul, and the city roads were paralyzed. Fortunately, there is little chance of snow accumulation on this day as the temperature rises, but the last snowfall has not yet melted, and there are many slippery places that require attention.
Kim Ki-han, an informant at the Meteorological Administration, said, “There is less snow than last time, and the temperature is high, so it does not accumulate on the roads as soon as it snows.”
He also said, “At the time of work, it is almost snowing in the west, centering on Seoul, and snow in the east will start.” “Because the place where it snows is different depending on the region, the road and weather conditions You have to check where the river basin moves.”
