Damn You, Global Warming!

Ruining Seolnal ... :

Unprecedented heavy snowfall is expected across South Korea during the Lunar New Year holiday, a rare phenomenon as the holiday usually occurs after the coldest part of winter in early January. This year’s snowfall could make it the snowiest Lunar New Year in 30 years, according to weather officials.

The Korea Meteorological Administration (KMA) forecasts up to 25 centimeters (10 inches) of snow in the Seoul metropolitan area on Jan. 27 and 28. Significant accumulation is also expected in other regions: Gangwon Province is forecast to receive 10 to 30 centimeters, the Chungcheong region 5 to 20 centimeters, the Jeolla region 5 to 30 centimeters, Gyeongsang Province 1 to 15 centimeters, and Jeju Island 3 to 30 centimeters. The heaviest snowfall is anticipated on Jan. 28, as cold air from the north interacts with the warmer waters of the West Sea (Yellow Sea), creating large snow clouds.
