00:00A major blizzard has reached the east coast of the US, bringing cities to a standstill.
00:05Philadelphia, New Jersey and New York City are blanketed in snow, and visibility is severely
00:10reduced. Tens of millions of people are in the storm's path from Washington DC up to
00:16Maine, with several states declaring emergencies. New York City announced a ban on non-emergency
00:22travel on all streets from Sunday to Monday. But neither the weather nor restrictions dampened
00:28the spirits of some tourists.
00:32I mean, I knew it was going to snow a little bit, but I didn't think it was like this
00:39much.
00:39But I feel happy. I don't know, a nice experience though.
00:46The weather changes the plans a little, maybe not going to the Statue of Liberty, but walking
00:51around Times Square longer. Plans change, but let's say that the weather either way is not
00:56an impediment to enjoying and living the New York experience.
00:59The experience here at New York City.
01:03Despite their optimistic outlook, the storm could dump between 30 to 60 centimeters of snow,
01:08and combined with heavy winds, it's likely to bring treacherous conditions. On Sunday, there
01:13were already more than 20,000 residents without power in the state of New Jersey.
01:17and sending them around the Bur令到 underneath.
01:17Thank you so much, and stay tuned Davidés.
01:17I will give you the opportunity to see you.
