″With the continental high pressure expanding to the north and a cold wave warning announced for most of the country, this cold weather will peak around the 23rd and is expected to last all week.″

As cold air flows into the relatively warm West Sea, creating strong snow clouds, heavy snow will fall in the West Coast area until the day after tomorrow.

Currently, heavy snow warnings are in effect throughout South Chungcheong Province, western Jeolla Province, and Jeju Island.
