Seoul area and points south. How much snow depends on the temperature turnover during the day, but 3-5 inches is the general call right now. Get some groceries.

Over here, we've had snow falls twice already. As for the groceries, these fastfood guys on scooters are fearless. I tell you, they are the unsung heroes of this world.

Snow day! Snow day! Snow day! Oh, wait, we're not in Canada, which is good since it's not nearly as cold and snowy here, but bad because the anticipation of a snow day was always so exciting. Smile

USFK has already canceled school tomorrow for the kids on base.

Its either going to be one of two things 1) a few flakes and thats it 2) a 10 inch snowfall that paralyzes the city like a couple of years ago, then they predicted that 2-4" and we got almost a foot.

doesn't bother me, I'm done for the semester, I can sit in a coffee shop do my grades and watch the fun Very Happy

I don't understand. 5.9" or 10" is not a lot of snow. Why all the panic?

I consider 10 cm is a bit of snow for one snowfall, and I'm Canadian. However, it would not stop me from going to work. It would be considered a normal day. Koreans and Americans, on the other hand.....
