The mercury has dipped way below freezing this winter and an Arctic cold air mass that swept across the country has been behind the frigid temperatures.
Seoul saw temperatures drop to minus 18.6 degrees Celsius, Jan. 8, which was the lowest in 35 years. The lowest-ever temperature recorded in Seoul was minus 19.2 degrees Celsius, Jan. 5, 1986, according to the Korea Meteorological Administration, which began collecting such data in 1980.
