The Blizzard of ’96<\/strong>.<\/p>\n

I was reminded of it in the first three days of December 2014, as snow gently fell on us in the Seoul region. I wrote the below in Korean on the third consecutive day of snow. I post here a revised version (after some corrections) and a translation to English.

Winter Recollection: “Winter Vacation, Round Two”<\/strong><\/font>
Today I was reminded of a pleasant winter memory from my childhood.<\/p>\n

I was born in the USA and was in elementary school there in February 1996. At that time, we students suddenly got a “second winter vacation”. How could it have happened? Because a whole lot of snow fell. Actually, more than three feet of snow fell, which we have to say is a lot. Normally, we got 1-2 weeks of vacation at Christmas time, but this was February, so we can call it “1995-6 Winter Vacation, Round Two”.<\/p>\n

Snow quickly piled up on our city’s streets. School buses could not go into any neighborhoods because of the snow. Therefore, students were told not to go to school. Students’ safety is, after all, thought to be the most important thing. All the schools decided to cancel classes for a week because of the snow. What joyful news this was to us students! We played outside in the “winter wonderland”. We not only made snowmen but also could enjoy a lot of sledding. As for studying…we didn’t do any of that.<\/p>\n

In South Korea, though, it seems to me that there are almost no days on which school is cancelled like this. We might say that the reason for this is that Korea has no school buses. Additionally, in Korea snow is not a serious problem. In South Korea’s capital area from December 1st to 3rd, 2014, snow fell but there seemed to be almost no disruptions at all to transportation or such things.
