In addition, the Meteorological Administration predicted that snow would fall in the central region, the Jeolla region, the northern interior of Gyeongbuk and the mountains of Gyeongbuk until this night due to the effect of the pressure valley passing through the north. The Meteorological Administration reported that snow could continue until dawn on the 13th, the next day in Yeongseo, Gangwon.
Snow falls until 6 pm on this day, but gradually weakens after 6 pm, and it is likely to stop at 9 pm in the metropolitan area and around 12 pm in other areas.
In addition, since the snow cloud belt is moving rapidly at 45 km/h, the expected snowfall may change from time to time depending on the movement of the snow cloud belt.
An official from the Meteorological Agency said, “When the snow falls hard, the visibility distance becomes shorter, so please take care of traffic safety when driving a vehicle,” he said. “You should also check the road congestion and weather conditions before work.”
