Seoul residents awoke to a gleaming world of white this week, as record snowfall caused both disruption and delight across the South Korean capital.

Many parts of South Korea were blanketed with snow for the second day running, as its capital Seoul saw its heaviest snowfall in a day for the month of November in more than 100 years. At least five people died.

The first snowfall of the season dumped a record 17.2 centimeters of snow in South Korea’s capital city Seoul on Wednesday, snarling traffic, grounding some flights with the weather bureau forecasting more bad weather.
