Over at Stars & Stripes they have a slideshow with pictures of the effect of the historic snow fall on USFK facilities in Korea:
The worst one-day snowstorm since South Korea started keeping records paralyzed air and road travel across much of the peninsula Monday, and extended the holiday weekend for most U.S. military personnel and their children.About 11 inches of snow fell in Seoul by the time the snow stopped Monday night, beating the previous high of just over 10 inches that fell during a storm in January 1969, according to Korea Meteorological Administration spokesman Ko Jung-woong.
It was the most snow recorded since the agency began tracking snowfall in 1937, Ko said.
The impact of the storm was felt to varying degrees on U.S. bases from the Demilitarized Zone all the way south to U.S. Army Garrison-Daegu.
The steady snowfall canceled school for approximately 3,700 students at Department of Defense Dependents Schools in Pyeongtaek and Seoul.
In Areas I, II and III, nonessential personnel were either sent home early or told not to report to work. Commissaries, post exchanges, food courts, gyms and community activity centers were also closed early on many South Korea bases.
“If it wasn’t mission-essential, today we wanted people to stay home (and) be safe,” said 1st Lt. Chris Hoyler, spokesman for Osan Air Base in Pyeongtaek. “It’s not ideal for driving in any way, shape or form.”
Road conditions for much of South Korea were deemed condition “red” — meaning only vehicles needed for emergencies or essential business were allowed in use, and tire chains were required — as far south as Kunsan Air Base.
“Amber” conditions were declared for roads leading as far as the southern coast of South Korea, near Pusan and Chinhae Naval Base, meaning only those military vehicles on essential business were allowed on highways.
Snow is not expected again until next Monday. However, the snow that has already fallen will be around for a while thanks to temperatures that aren’t expected to climb out of the 20s for at least the next 10 days. [Stars & Stripes]
