The Biggest Snow in Decades

It made the news worldwide, Seoul got the most snowfall in one day in 70 years.  We got some 8-10 inches in less than 12 hours.  Not too shabby.  We got not 1 but 2 snow days out of the deal, although we're making one one of them up this Saturday.  (Little crazy, huh.)

Probably not as good as what the AP took, but here's some of our photos:
Snow Day 2010 - Koreans with umbrellas
Koreans aren't into precipitation, and actually carrying an umbrella in snow makes a lot of sense.

Love the micro-trucks.

Snow Day 2010 - main street mess!
This is walking across the main streets in our town.  It was covered in inches of slop all day.  I saw one plow go by over a few hours span, it was on the front of a firetruck.  Either they're just not into snow removal, or the plows were all in Seoul.

Update: Walking around Tuesday evening, I saw a fleet of snowplows, and then a bulldozer filling dumptrucks with snow. It was impressive really.

Although snow in the eyes was fun, we spent most the the two days in doors.  That's whay us Midwesterners do when it snows.  Doing what you wonder?  Well nothing too thrilling, working + doing puzzles.  :)
