The first snow of the winter arrived in Seoul on Saturday, which marked the heaviest level for the first snowfall in history, the state meteorological office said.
The Korea Meteorological Administration (KMA) said it lifted the heavy snow warning at 9:40 a.m., some three hours after it first issued the notice.
It said Seoul saw a record 8.8 centimeters of snow as of 10:00 a.m., outnumbering the earlier record of 4.5 cm tallied in 1990.
The KMA started to compile related data in 1981. ..
