On the 1st (local time), as heavy snow poured in the northeastern part of the United States, citizens enjoying the snow at elapsed time in various parts of New York City were captured. Citizens made snowmen and took pictures in New York’s Central Park, where more than 30 centimeters of snow was piled up, and on Wall Street, children brought out tubes and sleds to enjoy snow sledding. When public transportation was completely cut off due to heavy snowfall, some people went on skis.

This heavy snow poured with a strong wind had accumulated 33cm in New York and 27cm in Chicago until the afternoon of the 1st. It is the largest amount in 5 years since 2016, when 70cm of snowfall was recorded. Due to the strong heavy snowfall, public transportation and school classes, as well as corona 19 diagnostic tests and vaccinations, are all suspended. The U.S. National Weather Service (NWS) has issued a storm warning from Virginia to Maine, where tens of millions of people live, and predicted heavy snowfalls of 45 to 60 cm in southern New York, northeastern New Jersey, and parts of southwest Connecticut.
