Wasn't it uncomfortable on the way home from work?
From the afternoon, up to 12cm of snow fell in Seoul and the metropolitan area.
I had a nightmare on my way home from work last week, so the snow removal work was quickly done, but you should also be careful on my way to work today (13th).

<Reporter> After
3pm yesterday, snow is pouring out of sight.
In just a few hours, Seoul has turned into a white snow world.
The snow is swept away with a shovel and a snowplow is used to sprinkle calcium chloride on the hillside.
However, after a short period of time, some roads and parking lots turned into snow without help.
The citizens who were about to go home were also embarrassed.
[Kim Won-bin/Seongnam-si, Gyeonggi-do: I took the bus, but it’s snowing too much.
So as soon as I get off, I have to buy an umbrella, and I have to go home now, but it's very difficult.
The road seems to be blocked a lot.] The
snow cloud that stretched north and south quickly passed the metropolitan area at a speed of 45 km/h.
In two or three hours, it snowed 4.3cm in Seoul's official observatory, 2.8cm in Incheon, and 12.3cm in Siheung, Gyeonggi-do.
Especially in Dongjak-gu, Seoul, 7.4cm of snow poured over 3 hours.
Yesterday afternoon, about 8,000 people and 1,000 units of equipment were put in the city for snow removal.
In preparation for the confusion on the way to work this morning, the number of subway operations has been increased from 7 am to 9:30 am, and the minimum intervals for all city bus lines have been extended.
