Winter has arrived on the east coast of the USA - and also made the arrival of the president at the military airport near Washington much more difficult.

Eventually the gangway got going.

Still: A pretty frosty reception for Joe Biden.

After all, the US President's plane was able to land: by Monday evening, more than 3,000 flights had been canceled on the east coast.

The severe onset of winter temporarily paralyzed parts of the east coast.

Wet snow that piled up to 30 cm high.

The state of Virginia is particularly hard hit, where around 340,000 households have lost electricity.

According to the energy company, in some areas it could take several days to restore power.

The snow load caused trees to fall, branches to break off and pipes to be destroyed.

Placemark: Washington, DC

In the capital Washington, the bus service was discontinued.

Schools, federal authorities and corona test centers remained closed.

Instead: A spontaneous mass event on the National Mall, the central park in Washington.

And at least in this discipline, it also strengthens the "immune system".

"Today we're leaving everything out - to unsuspecting adults."
