totaling 30.3 million dollars, with the worst hit areas being Kyonggi, Kangwon, South Chungchong and North Cholla provinces and the cities of Seoul and Inchon.

Greenhouses made of sheets of plastic stretched over metal frames were unable to withstand the weight of the snow and came crashing down, destroying the vegetables inside.

The government's anti-disaster office Saturday reporting on the damage as of Friday evening said a total of 743 hectares of greenhouses were damaged by the storm. In addition, 300 barns were crushed by the snow, killing 6,000 heads of livestock.

Kyonggi suffered most, with a loss of nearly 19 million dollars, followed by Kangwon, Seoul, Inchon, North Cholla and South Chungchong.
