The seasonal change in weather is in pace with the preceding year’s, albeit more abrupt this year.

Water froze in north Chuncheon a year ago today, while in Daejeon the coldness descended two days faster last year.

The local weather agency predicts the biting cold will last until Tuesday morning. On Wednesday, the lowest morning temperature is expected to record 6.2 degrees.
