blogging it real

Along with the snow came freezing temperatures; at 1pm yesterday the temperature in Invercargill was 1C but the wind chill factor made it feel much colder.

The SST can call me when it's -30 and the wind chill factor mades it feel -40. Or when it's so cold icicles form on your eyelashes, causing them to stick together, and the moisture in your breath freezes upon each exhalation giving you an attractive icy muzzle. Judging by the frost and persistent single-digit temperatures around here, such events won't be too far away...

Here at bloggingitreal no weather escapes our attention.

With all the bitching from England here's an update from Korea...

Korea recorded its lowest temperatures since 2001, Wednesday, in a cold spell that is expected to continue until next week. The Korea Meteorological Administration (KMA) said it expects Seoul to record minus 14 degrees Celsius Thursday.

According to the KMA, Chulwon in Gwangwon Province, saw the lowest temperature of -26.3 degrees Celsius as morning lows in the capital fell to -13.3 degrees.

The temperature was also the lowest in Seoul since February 2006 when it recorded -14.1 degrees.

The KMA expects the cold weather will continue through the weekend and forecast that temperatures will drop further.

Morning lows in other regions also showed the worst cold snap after nine years; Jecheon, -25.8 degrees; Daegwanryeong, -22.3 degrees; Chungju -21.4 degrees; Suwon -18.6 degrees.

I fondly remember being in Seoul in the early 00's when it reached -18 degrees and we had 25cm of snow. Unfortunately I can't recall being contacted by the Herald or any footage being shown on the NZ news.
