<Anchor> A



lot of snow falling over 50cm in the center of Yeongdong, Gangwon-do, is causing great confusion.

On the last day of the holiday season due to heavy snowfall, vehicles on the way home were also rushing to the highways, causing them to be isolated for hours on the highway.



First, reporter Nam Joo-hyun.

Yesterday (1st) afternoon, near the Western-Yang Interchange on the Seoul-Yangyang Expressway.



On the highway turned into a snow field, vehicles turn on emergency lights and stop, and in the meantime, people walk through the snow.



[Lee Ji-eun/Reporter: (Bus) There is a sleepy shelter in front of the driver, so he told me to walk and go...

.

The restroom is also a drowsy shelter, and the person to solve it.] We



pushed the car covered in snow with a group, but they kept spinning and the snowplow arrived late, but it is not enough to solve the road situation.



[Mishiryeong isolation informant: I left at 12, but after 5 hours in isolation, the police come and go back and take it down.

(The snowplow) only pushed the snow, but now it slides there, so the cars can't go up.] In the



section where snow removal was not done, the car that turned off at all is noticeable.



[Shin-dong/Speaker: Turn off all the engines in case of oil falling, and turn on the engine occasionally because it's cold...

From daytime yesterday, over 55 cm of snow accumulated in Misiryeong and over 29 cm in Bukgangneung.



Due to the belated snow removal work, two lanes on the Seoul-Yangyang Expressway to Seoul were opened from 10:00 p.m., but congestion continues in the 6km section, and only one lane on the Donghae Expressway is partially communicating.



The Korea Expressway Corporation explained that snow removal was not performed because a lot of snow fell in a short period of time, and snow removal vehicles were caught between ordinary vehicles.



Snow clouds are still developing, so it is expected that 10 to 40 cm, or 50 cm, of more snow will fall until this afternoon in Yeongdong, Gangwon-do.



In the Yeongseo area, up to 15cm in the morning, 3~8cm snow was forecast in northern Gyeonggi, eastern Gyeonggi, and northern Gyeongbuk.



The Meteorological Administration said that this snow is heavy'wet' because it absorbs the moisture of the East Sea.
