From late in the afternoon Yesterday, December 27, 2009, it started to snow for the first time in this part of the country, much enough to cover the street up to 3cm height. With the falling snow, the entire village changed into a white world dramatically, making everything on earth clean and pure white. That's probably why most people, particularly children, as well as dogs, are pleased when it starts to snow.From the eye of a driver, however, a snowfall means a terrible obstacle in maneuvering his or her vehicle in an appropriate manner on the road. The worst case, however, usually come in the aftermath of a snowfall when the temperature drops pretty fast to below freezing point, especially near the mouth of a tunnel. A so-called 'Ecology Tunnel' was constructed last summer at the 'Gingmaeii Mountain Pass' through 'Gyeongmyeong-ro' which connects 'Gongchon-dong', Seo-Gu District to 'Gesan-dong, Geyang-Gu District in the northwestern part of Incheon City.
