The east coat of South Korea received nearly 2.6 feet of snow in 24 hours. This record snowfall has been the heaviest fall recorded since 1911 when the nation began its record-keeping. Widespread chaos is taking place across the affected areas with many houses collapsing under the weight of the snow. A number of primary schools have been closed and many motorists are also stranded in the snow drifts. The damage is estimated in the millions of dollars. Thousands of soldiers have been deployed by the South Korean government to aid in the recovery process after the weather disaster.
