Blizzard slams Northeast; NYC spared
美国东北部遭遇重大暴风雪袭击
Bostonians are braving the blizzard of 2015. SOUNDBITE: BOSTON RESIDENT JENN SATO SAYING: "She is loving it. I'm doing ok - I'm not feeling as energetic and excited but I mean, I think I'm prepared. I've got my goggles, I've got my five layers of pants and I'm ready to go." Massachusetts got more than a foot of snow from the storm that swept across the Northeast burying cars and side streets. And it's not over yet. Snow is expected to keep falling throughout the day Tuesday. The whiteout conditions perfect for some cross-country skiing. SOUNDBITE: BOSTON RESIDENT NICK FOGEL SAYING: "It's sort of the novelty of being able to ski in the streets and then ski in these areas where you usually see cars packing the roads." In New York City, the storm fell short of dire predictions. Instead of three feet of snow, the city only got about 6 inches. SOUNDBITE: UNIDENTIFIED NEW YORKER SAYING: "Disappointed. I want more. I'm off from work today and I feel like there is no reason for me to be off. So, I'm just going to go to the gym now and just relax at home all day." The underwhelming snow made it easier to clear streets and sidewalks. Despite dodging mother nature's bullet, many businesses and restaurants remained closed. For those who had to venture outside, the snowy conditions weren't all that bad. SOUNDBITE: UNIDENTIFIED NEW YORKER SAYING: "Well this is not a bad one. A bad one was in 1947. That was a big one." New Yorkers spared this time around as their neighbors to the north are dealing with the worst of it.
