Now, to the latest on the heavy snow blanketing the eastern province of Gangwon-do...
Provincial authorities have announced plans to deploy heavy-duty snow removal equipment
and about 18-hundred people to help with clean-up operations.
Officials estimate the storm has caused roughly 3-point-3 million U.S. dollars in damage so
far, but given that more than 40 centimeters of snow fell overnight, that total is expected
to rise. As of Thursday morning, at least 210 facilities
had collapsed or been damaged under the sheer weight of the snow.
