In New York City, home of the Statue of Liberty

What a beautiful day to do some fishing.
Down in the Southeast today,

In Miami, Florida, a popular vacation spot,
it's going to be sunny and hot, hot, hot!

that's 32 degrees Celsius now,
a perfect day for the beach.
Not so in St. Louis, Missouri,
the gateway to the West.
It's cool and windy.

there is two feet of snow already
and it's going to snow some more.
It's a perfect place for skiing.
