thick snow is pouring out constantly.
In the mountains of Gangwon-do, heavy snowfall of more than 40cm fell amid heavy snow warnings, and a lot of snowfall of 20~30cm fell on the east coast.
During the holiday season, the cars that had visited the east coast all climbed on the way back to Gyeonggi Province, resulting in extreme congestion on each road.
The Misiryeong Tunnel, which is a local road route 56, has been partially controlled from 2 p.m. as vehicles get tangled.
From 4 pm on Jinburyeong on National Route 46 and Hangyeryeong on National Route 44, only passenger cars equipped with winter gear are allowed to pass.
In the afternoon, vehicles were rushing to the expressway, creating a designated phenomenon at the access roads of the Yeongdong Expressway and Donghae Expressway.
In addition, vehicle entry is controlled at four entrances and exits in the section of Sokcho and Hajodae on the Donghae Expressway.
Although the traffic was inconvenient, this snow helped to worry more about winter drought sun and wildfires.

(Because of a question?)
Now that the snow has come, I don't think there will be much damage if I plant it in the future...

On the east coast of Gangwon-do, the average of 11.5mm of rain fell for 3 months from last December to only 11.8% of the average winter drought.
