Koreans are struggling with nippy weather conditions as temperatures dropped at one point on Thursday morning to -10 degrees Celsius in the eastern mountainous region. Even a snowfall warning was issued in the eastern province of Gangwon Province and weather experts say more snow will fall in the area until Thursday evening.
It's rare to see a sudden cold spell like this and snow around this time of year in Korea. Meteorologists say the chilly conditions will stay until Friday, with strong winds whipping up seasonal sandstorms.
