Record snow in South Korea: Man skiing to work goes viral

A rare scene was captured in South Korea, which had record snowfall on the morning of November 28 before the onset of winter. 

A person was spotted skiing along the side of a quiet road with little traffic. 
The video was shot in Yongin, south of Seoul. 
The skier was a former member of the South Korean national ski team, who currently works as a high school P.E. teacher.

South Korean media reported that as of 8 a.m. on the 28th, the snow had accumulated to a height of 28.6 centimeters in Seoul.  It was a historic snowfall record for November since record-keeping began in 1907. 
 

The heaviest snowfall before the onset of winter caused problems in various parts of the country, including a traffic accident involving more than 50 vehicles.
