0:00:51 > 0:00:52It's man versus snow here.

0:00:52 > 0:00:54The battle is on to clear the city's roads and pavements.

0:00:54 > 0:00:59There's more than a metre of snow on the streets in some places here.

0:01:16 > 0:01:20The snowstorm has travelled 200 miles to New York,

0:01:20 > 0:01:25whipping up high tides to bring flooding in several towns.

0:01:25 > 0:01:27This is Times Square in New York.

0:01:27 > 0:01:30Normally, it's bustling with tourists and loads of traffic.

0:01:30 > 0:01:33Right now, all travel is banned in the city.

0:01:33 > 0:01:40That is to allow officials to clear up.

0:01:46 > 0:01:50They want to get the public transport back up and running

0:01:50 > 0:01:52but that could take some time.

0:02:23 > 0:02:25So, what are kids in America doing during the blizzard?

0:02:25 > 0:02:29Well, we've been sent some very special reports from children over

0:02:29 > 0:02:32in the States.

0:02:32 > 0:02:33Hi, I'm Zara.

0:02:46 > 0:02:49How many inches to we think we have, girls?

0:02:49 > 0:02:5120.

0:02:51 > 0:02:52OK.

0:02:52 > 0:02:54Can we see the stick that you've made?

0:02:57 > 0:03:02It's about 1.5 feet.

0:03:14 > 0:03:17As you can see, it is knowing pretty hard right now.

0:03:21 > 0:03:22We are getting ready for the storm.

0:03:22 > 0:03:26We're hoping it will snow deep enough so that we do not have to go

0:03:26 > 0:03:27to school on Monday.

0:03:27 > 0:03:30Hello, my name is Tom and this is my coverage of Storm Jonas.

0:04:11 > 0:04:12More cold news now.

0:04:12 > 0:04:14And a team of researchers from Oxford University has set up

0:04:14 > 0:04:16penguin-monitoring cameras in the Antarctic Peninsula.

0:04:16 > 0:04:19By using this special penguin CCTV, the team are hoping to reach remote

0:04:19 > 0:04:21penguin colonies to learn more about the birds and hopefully learn

0:04:21 > 0:04:29how we can protect them for the future.

0:04:29 > 0:04:32Now, it wouldn't be a weekend without the week's weirdest news.

0:04:49 > 0:04:53collect the sheep and carry it down to the bottom in a bag.

0:04:53 > 0:04:55The sheep wasn't injured, but was pretty peckish

0:04:55 > 0:04:59after its cliffside adventures.

0:05:01 > 0:05:04Next to the really cool man taking on a chilly challenge.

0:05:04 > 0:05:08Not only did he stay in a bath full of ice for more than an hour,

0:05:08 > 0:05:11but he played chess at the same time.

0:05:11 > 0:05:16He won several games of Chinese chess while he was chilling out.

0:05:16 > 0:05:19No wonder he's nicknamed the Polar Bear.
