  1. Wow amazing, I know they don’t get alot of snow in Korea when my Korean sister came here when she was kid and we had snow she was amazed she had never seen it.

  2. AFAIK the northeast region is always snowy in the winter, it’s a famous place for winter sports. Other places snowed sparingly, the southern part rarely.
