“It’s Freezing”

On the morning of January 13, when the sensory temperature dropped as low as 14.3 degrees Celsius below zero in Seoul, children are looking at pieces of ice sculpture at the Seoul Plaza in front of the city hall, wearing caps in the shape of tiger, mouse, sheep, rabbit and other animals so as to stand the cold weather. It is predicted that the cold weather that began with the end of snow will last until January 17. The Korea Meteorological Administration announced that the strong winds would further lower the sensory temperatures. Wednesday is expected to become the coldest day since the beginning of this winter.
