Heavy Snowfall Hits Korea

South Korea has been hit by heavy snowfall, causing widespread disruption and several deaths. The snowfall, which began on Tuesday, has left some areas with more than 40 cm of snow, the heaviest snowfall in Seoul in over a century.

As the snow continues to fall, the government has issued a red alert, the highest level of weather warning. Several flights have been canceled, and schools and businesses have been closed. The snow has also caused power outages in some areas.

The snow has been welcomed by some, who have been enjoying the rare opportunity to build snowmen and go sledding. However, the snow has also caused major problems for others, especially those who have to travel in the affected areas.

The heavy snowfall is expected to continue for the next few days, so people in the affected areas are advised to take precautions and stay safe.
