【答案解析】[听力原文] The U.S. Northeast is dealing with the effects of what could be the most significant storm of this winter. When the snow emergency is declared in places like Boston and Massachusetts, you know the weather is bad. Blizzard conditions, whiteouts, more than 1,600 flight cancellations, the closure of the largest school district in the United States, and the warnings to people not to leave their homes except in an emergency... all of these are brought by a storm system that has affected more than 60 million people in some way. That is roughly one-fifth of America's population. It came on suddenly. Wednesday's temperature at New York's John F. Kennedy International Airport was 65 degrees Fahrenheit. Yesterday, it was 25, sinking to a low of 18 overnight, and it came with snow. Forecasters predicted eight to 12 inches in New York, with wind gusts of 50 miles per hour. Boston was expected to get 12 to 15 inches of snow. The system was moving out of New York by last night, but it was expected to impact Boston through the weekend. National Weather Service doesn't expect the temperature there to get above freezing until Sunday. What do you learn about the storm reported in the news?
