For many people in Seoul, a record November snowfall on Wednesday felt like a sudden plunge into winter, when days earlier they had been enjoying unseasonably warm temperatures.
By the time people woke up Wednesday, a storm had blanketed the city with the first snowfall of the season, the heaviest November snowfall in Seoul since records began in 1907.
The snow began falling around midnight and piled up into the afternoon, leading to a heavy snow warning throughout the capital with parts of Seoul receiving as much as eight inches.
Christine Domingo, 32, who was visiting from Manila, said she came to see the fall foliage, not expecting to experience winter, describing it as a one of a kind experience.
