Many parts of South Korea experienced the coldest weather yet this winter.
The capital Seoul dropped down to nearly minus 14 degrees Celsius overnight,... and the wind made it feel like almost minus 20.
Temperatures went up a little during the day, but it stayed below zero almost everywhere. The Korea Meteorological Administration has issued cold wave advisories and warnings for basically the entire country except the southernmost parts.
But even there, there's been heavy snow in places, including Jeju-do and Ulleung-do islands and many parts of Jeollabuk-do Province -- Gochang county got some twenty centimeters -- and more snow is expected for these regions on Saturday.
According to the Korea Meteorological Administration, the extreme cold is going to stick around until early next week.
