Did you spend a warm day today (9th)?

Even the water of the Han River, where the severe cold flowed, stopped erecting.

Official Han River freezing was observed in two years.

Hoengseong, Gangwon-do, which was the coldest, recorded -27 degrees Celsius, and damage to crops and farms continued across the country.

Ice cubes float as if putting together a puzzle.



The river water covered with ice caps makes it difficult to feel even the finest motion.



The first freezing was observed in the Han River this winter.



The area around 100m upstream of the second and fourth piers of Noryangjin Hangang Bridge, the official reference point, is completely covered with ice.



The Han River did not freeze last year, and freezing was officially observed in two years.



Today, Yangpyeong, Gyeonggi Province, was minus 25 degrees and Imsil, Jeollabuk-do, 25.3 degrees below zero.



Hoengseong, Gangwon-do, was the coldest in the country at -27.6 degrees.



When water is sprayed in the air, water droplets are cold enough to turn into ice grains in an instant.



[Jang Hong-seo/Seoul Changcheon-dong: I was trying to wash out to go out, but I was very embarrassed because the water didn't come out.

It's been 6 years since I've lived in this house, and it's really my first time.]



In Gochang, Jeollabuk-do, 87,000 mullets died in groups because they could not withstand the cold. In Buan, most of the paddy fields were damaged by cold.




[Baek Ryeon-ki/Farmers: I kept coming out at night and trying to touch them and put them alive again, but it's still not enough.

The cold energy is so strong.

It was ruined.] In a



record cold wave, 78 aircraft and 51 passenger ships were canceled nationwide, and eight roads were controlled.



The cold air forces were a bit slower than yesterday, but the Meteorological Administration predicted that a strong cold of around -15 degrees Celsius would continue across the country until next Tuesday.
