NBC新闻:美国东部出现特大冬季风暴

A week-long storm strengthened today, burying parts of New England and up to two feet of snow. Buffalo New York woke up this morning to icy conditions. The ice is the hardest part. Maryland and Virginia whipped by high winds. The damage so widespread, the storm system could be linked to tornadoes. And more extreme weather out west. Avalanche warnings issued in Utah. Parts of the south taking a hit too. The severe weather outbreak killing at least five.

In Florida trees crashed into homes, sending one woman to the hospital. Relentless rain also turning roads into rivers. The high water trapping people and pets in South Carolina. A family in Virginia had to be rescued by boat. It kept getting higher and higher and we thought it would go down after it stopped rain. While parts of the US recover, a very different scene in Antarctica, where the temperature climbed into the mid 60s, a record high, stoking concerns over climate change. Here in Buffalo New York is drying out but staying cold. Overnight temperatures will stay in the teens.
