Metropolitane chiuse, divieto di circolazione e un po' di divertimento. Il weekend della costa est sepolta dalla tempesta di neve dell'anno

Città paralizzate su tutta la East Coast, stato d’emergenza, servizi in tilt e anche molti pupazzi e palle di neve. Così si presentano New York, Washington, Philadelphia e le altre città colpite dalla tempesta dell’anno. I metereologi si aspettavano fenomeni di freddo intenso dopo l’anno più caldo di sempre. Da qualche anno a questa parte negli States i fenomeni di tempo estremo, che si tratti di uragani, tempeste di neve o siccità si verificano con maggior frequenza.
