!!!!!!!!!

I've spent the last hour hanging out my window like a moron.

It doesn't snow where I come from.

There were some lightning and thunder earlier. Then heavy snow. Wow, I learned something new. There can be a snowy thunderstorm. I lived in a warm place my whole life, so snow is mesmorizing to me. Ill get tired of it after a while. Yes, im looking off and on out of my window too.

Been snowing heavily in Gae-yang, Incheon since about 9.30. People are on the street taking photos and throwing snowballs. A beautiful sight.

No snow to the east of seoul though.

Man, it doesn't show signs of stopping.





It's up to your knees out there.



Three HUGE bags of road salt, not enough. Saw my first stupid-driver-trick of the winter. Woman comes up in a small car, no chains, and I believe no snowtires either. I'm waving "no! go back!" She doesn't care, doesn't even look. She gets up to this very steep incline right next to my house, and as her wheels are spinning, screeching, and she's making zero progress up a slope that's even hard to WALK UP... her car slides SIDEWAYS into a steel handrail for some steps beside the road. And breaking it. What a clatter! I'm tempted to go out again and photograph the damage she just caused. But baby, it's cold outside.

I hope every night is like last night until April.

The snow continues to fall (kinda) up here in the great and vasty tundra of Northern�Seoul. The main roads appear to be traversable by car once again, though I believe a sled or one's ass is still the preferred means of transportation on our steep spur roads, side roads and alleys. The hills were dotted with small people sledding & snowball fighting late last night and again this morning. On a slippery 20-minute stumble down the slope and back, I saw one couple sorting out a dead battery, evidence of a small collision between a decending car and a parked car, and trashcans knocked over by hungry hounds, plastic bags ripped open, their contents dragged all over the snow. I found a bag NaCl half-buried in the snow and lugged it home to replenish my nearly-depleted grit bin.

The smashed-in handrail I mentioned in my previous post:

I made sure to hurry on down to the park before the snow melted off the trees and before the ground snow had been befouled by too many pedestrians.

For the record: There is NOT snow everywhere on the peninsula.

I left Seoul by express bus at 1 pm this afternoon, heading 4.5 hours due south to the southernmost valleys, and while the snow covered trees and mountains were wonderful, I saw the snow progressively disappear the further the trip went, and by the time I arrived in town there was NO snow on the ground and only about 10% on surrounding mountains.

according to the Korea Times Seoul got about 12.5 cm of snow or about 5", not a bad amount.

at least it was a wet snow, the streets were fine this afternoon
