Next, let's take a closer look at the snow news today (26) with reporter Jeong Gu-hee from the weather team.



Q. Is the snow removal going well?



[Reporter Jeong Gu-hee: Yes, this is Seocho-daero, Seocho-gu.

Most of the snow removal on the main roads has been completed, but this place where the snow is piled up now is actually a crosswalk.

(That's right. It's a crosswalk over there.) There's still a lot of snow on the crosswalk and sidewalk, so the snow removal isn't complete.]



Q. The weather is cold, so won't it freeze?



[Reporter Jeong Gu-hee: Yes.

Since the temperature in Seoul is constantly maintained below 0 degrees, it is expected that it will freeze if the accumulated snow is left alone.] 



Q. What about the situation in other regions?



[Reporter Jeong Gu-hee: If you look at other areas, it is the intersection of Daechi Station in Gangnam-gu.

Here, too, there is a lot of snow on the Indian side.

(That's right.) And as you can see right now, this is where you turn right. You might think that the roads are all cleared of snow, but in fact, the road may still be covered with snow at this right turn, so you have to be careful when driving around this corner.

(That's right. Right now, vehicles turning right here are turning right, but I'm probably a bit careful, so I'm going right now.) It's still passing by.]



Q. It snowed a lot in Incheon?



[Reporter Jeong Gu-hee: The place where it snowed the most today is actually Incheon now.

If you look at the CCTV together now, when I saw the CCTV in the morning, it was really snowing heavily, but now it has subsided a bit.

(That's right. But looking at the top of the boat, there's a lot of snow.) That's right.

Now, Incheon is the place where it snowed the most in Korea today, and so far it has accumulated about 6.6cm.

Seoul is recording 1.5cm of snow.]



Q. Where is the current snowfall?



[Reporter Jeong Gu-hee: If you look at the radar now, as you can see, snow clouds are coming in from the west coast.

So, snow is flowing in to Seoul, southern Gyeonggi, and even Jeonbuk.]



Q. What do the colored parts on the screen mean?



[Reporter Jeong Gu-hee: If you zoom in a little, the places that look green like this are areas where a little strong snow can fall, up to 1 to 2 cm per hour.

The blue areas are areas that are currently falling below 1 cm.

In the future, as these snow clouds continue to flow in, it is not snowing in Jeonnam and Gyeongnam now, but it is expected that snow will expand to Jeonnam, Gyeongnam, and Jeju Island at night.

(Then, now this snow cloud is gradually coming all the way to our Korean Peninsula, going forward, I guess.) That's right.

This snow cloud will come inside.] 



Q. The Central Disaster Countermeasures and Safety Headquarters also issued the first stage of disaster response?



[Reporter Jeong Gu-hee: Yes.

This is the situation just before 6:30 today.

Accidents in the snow are happening everywhere.

This is Gangbyeonbuk-ro between Mapo Bridge and Wonhyo-daero.

As you can see, the cars skidded and hit the edge of the road.

(That's right.) It was expected that many accidents would occur, so the script also raised the crisis warning level from interest to caution.

In the case of Seoul, we decided to extend the intensive dispatch time of public transportation by 30 minutes.]
