Cold Warnings Issued Across South Korea
South Korea is getting hits by its coldest weather yet this winter:
Cold wave alerts will be issued for most parts of the country Monday as the capital and central parts of the nation came under the grip of the season’s coldest weather.
The Korea Meteorological Administration (KMA) said the cold wave warning will take effect for all of Seoul at 9 p.m.
The cold wave warning is issued when the morning low is below minus 15 C for more than two consecutive days, or when the temperature drops sharply and major damage is expected.
The warning will be also issued for many areas in Incheon, 27 kilometers west of Seoul, and the provinces of Gyeonggi, Gangwon, Chungcheong and North Jeolla at the same time.

December 2010 was about like that. I showed up in clothes I bought in Texas allegedly good for snow; but the wind at the Incheon Airport (while standing outside for an hour waiting for the Limousine Bus to Songtan) cut through me like I was standing there “in my skivvies”.
I spent my 2 week vacation sick in bed, except for a brief visit to Mike’s Arcade to order a custom A-2. Which I still wear to work these days…
It is going to be cold in Korea in the winter time?!?!? Really, what a surprise, must be that global warming I heard about.
