I witness biggest snowfall in Korea since 40 years!!!!

It was first working day of year 2010......whole seoul beautifully blanketed by white snow....it was fun, it was amaging.....it was thrilling.....apart from it.. was really chilling!. The day which witness biggest snowfall in Korea since 40 years!


It caused traffic chaos, made life little difficult by delaying or canceling scores of flights. According to the Korea Meteorological Administration, the snow that began falling early in the morning piled up around the nation's central regions with more than 25.2 centimeters accumulating in Seoul, by next day. It was the heaviest in 41 years and second heaviest since the nation started observing snowfall back in 1937. Usually, sa a low pressure system from the West Sea approaches the nation, heavy snowfall starts. When the center of the system passes the southern part of Chungcheong Province, the central regions will see more snowfall. Despite increased numbers of buses and subway trains, citizens experienced inconveniences as public transportation operated behind schedule and was more crowded than usual. Major roads in Seoul were slippery and snow-covered, disrupting traffic.

Seoul City dispatched a total of 3,590 workers for clearing snowdrifts and poured 2,381 tons of calcium chloride on major roads. However, work in most locations was hampered by continuing heavy snowfall, coupled with cold wind. By following the weather forecast, an emergency system was worked from early in the morning. At the Gimpo International Airport, on the outskirts of Seoul, all 42 flights, including two international flights to Japan, were cancelled in the morning. It was the first time that the airport has cancelled all the flights since a heavy snowfall in 2001. However, no cancellations were reported at Incheon International Airport, except for some 30 delays due to de-icing work.
However personally, it was natural greatness with infinite reasons. I enjoyed playing in snow, spent some time outside withstanding heavy cold with my guide and labmates, took few snaps.......gon back to my child age...so jumping, shouting........But Im not sure..weather nature heard abt my outburst of happyness............:). Any how it was amaging being a child infront of nature........!
