On the 9th, snow is falling in most areas of the central region, including Seoul. The Korea Meteorological Administration (KMA) forecasts that this snowfall will expand to most parts of the country, with a large amount of snow expected by tomorrow.

According to the KMA, heavy snowfall of over 20cm is expected in the mountainous areas of Gangwon and Gyeongbuk. In the central region including Seoul and Jeonbuk, up to 10cm of snow is anticipated.

In particular, the metropolitan area is expected to have icy roads during the evening rush hour due to subzero temperatures, so extra caution is required.

The snow and rain falling nationwide are expected to mostly stop by the afternoon of the 10th. However, the east coast and mountainous areas of Gangwon are forecasted to continue experiencing precipitation until the evening of the 10th.
