Seoul Sees First Snow 26 Days Earlier Than Last Year

Seoul recorded its first snowfall of the season on Sunday, November 8, nearly a month earlier than last year. The Korea Meteorological Administration confirmed the snow at the Seoul Weather Station in Jongno District's Songwol-dong, with light flurries that did not accumulate. The Korea Times reports the snow arrived 26 days earlier than last year's December 4, while the Chosun Ilbo notes it was also 12 days earlier than the average date of November 20. The Dong-A Ilbo adds this is the earliest first snow in Seoul since 2010, a 16-year record. Korean media and social media are reacting with nostalgic comments, with Maeil Business and Hankyung highlighting the phrase "If it snows, let's meet" as the early snow brings back memories of that promise.
