It’s a day of wild winter weather for PRI’s The World

It's a winter wonderland in Boston, but that just means a more interesting commute for the team at PRI's The World.

Large parts of the northeastern United States are being battered by blizzards and near hurricane-force winds as winter storm Juno makes its way up the coast. So the journalists in our newsroom laced up heavy winter boots and strapped on cross-country skis and snowshoes to come in for today's show.

Marco Werman made it in with his cross-country gear…

And producer Bradley Campbell "summited" the Mass Turnpike overpass on the way to work.

By the time we all made it to work, there was an impressive collection of skis and boots at the door.

Engineer Michael Wilkins documented the storm and put together this short video.

But hey, it could be worse.

“It's not too bad today. It's into the minus-40s, so pretty typical for Yellowknife,” says CBC North meteorologist Christy Climenhaga, who's in northern Canada. “I have a little cocker spaniel and she loves it up here. We have a good winter jacket for her; you need little boots so their feet don't get too cold. All the dogs seem to love getting outside and running across our frozen lakes and all that fun stuff.”

Climenhaga's best advice? Bundle up: "The bigger you look, the better you are," she says.

And maybe leave the street snowboarding for another day.
