I remember when it snowed a lot last winter. It snowed over the weekend and continued to snow until Monday morning. We got at least 15cm of snow. It was one of the heaviest snowfalls that year. Of course, the streets got very slippery with the snow. People came out to clean the snow in front of their houses. People had trouble getting around because it was so slippery. Traffic was bumper-to-bumper in many areas. There were many fender-benders as cars slipped on the snow. It got worse in the evening as the snow turned into ice. It was quite hard to move around until the snow melted.
폭설이 왔던 때에 대해서 이야기해 주세요.
작년 겨울 눈이 많이 왔던 것이 기억납니다. 주말 내내 눈이 왔고 월요일 아침까지 계속 왔습니다. 최소 15센티미터의 눈이 왔습니다. 그해 가장 큰 폭설 중 하나였습니다. 물론 눈 때문에 길이 아주 미끄러웠습니다. 사람들은 나와서 집 앞의 눈을 치웠습니다. 너무 미끄러워서 사람들이 돌아다니는 것도 쉽지 않았습니다. 많은 곳에서 차작 꽉 막혔습니다. 차들이 눈에 미끄러져서 접촉 사고도 많았습니다. 눈이 얼면서 저녁 때는 더 심해졌습니다. 눈이 녹기까지 돌아다니기가 꽤 어려웠습니다.
