A little bit of snow

Friday we got quite the snow-scare here; at least from a Korean perspective. It started snowing hard early in the day and by late afternoon people were starting to get seriously worried about driving conditions.

We even got out of school a few minutes early, but by that time I think the damage had been done. Here's what it looked like outside Emart Friday evening:



When there is this much snow, most driver's won't even risk the drive unless they have chains on their tires. Cabs will travel on the side of the road going about 25 km/h and still feel like it's too fast.

Normally, by the next morning the snow is gone, however this time around we had a bit of a christmassy day with flurries coming down.



Sometimes it's something to smile about, especially when you see driver's overreacting, but there are still a lot of accidents for those traveling across the island.

Yesterday my co-worker Brian informed me that he had an accident on his way home to Jeju-si on Friday; the result was almost two million won worth of damage done to his car.

He didn't hit anybody, and he's alright besides a few aches and nerves, but it's still something to be taken seriously here.
