Heavy snow fell over parts of Korea's eastern region on Saturday, prompting local government officials to enact traffic and safety measures. Some cities in the province, where the Winter Youth Olympics are currently taking place, received up to 44 centimeters of snow as organizers activated emergency protocols to ensure smooth operation of the sporting event.
