I have not seen such a sudden and big snow in Italy for long time even if my hometown is located in the northern part. It seems I had to come here in Mokpo in order to see a good white blanket.

Mokpo has more or less the same latitude as Palermo in Sicily Italy, but the weather conditions ar very different in winter time.

Compare for instance the weather report today (December, 7th 2008)

Palermo

Mokpo

The snow covered Mokpo for about two days: December 5th and 6th.

Some pictures taken from Shangria Beach Hotel:

Mokpo is a small town located in the South Western part of South Korea. At least Koreans say this is a small town.

  Based on my feelings it is not so little, but I am looking with my european eyes. The citizens are more or less 260.000, however someone continue naming Mokpo “a village”. Korean standard, in terms of city sizes is quite different from the euopean one, anyway even big cities are livable in Korea.

Some data about Mokpo:

Area 47.92 km2 (18.50 sq mi) / many new areas in development
Population (2006) 241,679 / growing fastly
Population density 5,196.5 /km² (13,459 /sq mi) / it will be higher and higher: korean people like very high block of flats.
Administrative divisions: 22 dong
