"welcome to ansong evening news, live at 5! this is seo yumi with an updated, urgent weather report. currently, we are seeing steady snowfall that will be picking up sometime this late evening. we currently predict that the snowfall will increase overnight and project there to be roughly over two feet of snow by 8am tomorrow morning.
visibility will also be greatly affected, so we advise all residents to be careful while driving on the roads, as wind gusts could pick up and drop the temperature down at least five degrees. we advise any and all residents who are currently out and about to prepare for this uptick in snowfall and to try to stay indoors before late this evening to avoid the worst of the snowfall.
we will keep you updated as it progresses, but for now please stay safe, warm, and keep those shovels on standby!"
the next morning, many residents will notice there is a true winter wonderland outside their building. so much so that they can't seem to leave their apartment building. the doors are blocked by heavy snow, and the heating seems to be a bit spotty which leaves many residents cold and unable to do much but stay put in their apartments.
it looks like everyone has been... snowed in.

the holiday season is soon approaching and that means the yearly ansong holiday market is upon us!
downtown ansong is dressed up beautifully just in time for the upcoming holiday season! stores and buildings are decorated with lights, garlands, poinsettia's and snowflakes galore and some places even have mini decorated pine trees placed in their window displays. and, if you listen closely, you can hear holiday music playing wherever you go.
in the heart of downtown ansong is where the holiday market takes place. held every year in the month of december, the holiday market serves as downtown ansong's place to be for seasonal gifts, various food, and other holiday themed things to explore and enjoy. this year the market takes place between december 9th until december 15th.
with free entry to all residents, it is one of the premier events that many look forward to during the month. open from 10am to 10pm, people are free to drop by whenever they like to enjoy the market and all it has to offer.
some things to do around the holiday market are:
visit the outdoor ice skating rink right in the center of downtown! rental ice skates are available for residents to use, or even bring your own!
visit the various food stalls that are selling seasonal winter street foods and drinks (including hot chocolate) sponsored by local shops and residents!
