ANDERSON: Welcome back. You are looking at a live shot where we are expected to hear from U.S. House Speaker Nancy Pelosi at any moment. Speaking just one day after the House voted to impeach President Donald Trump. They charged him with abuse of power and obstruction of Congress. We're going to listen to that and bring you it live when it happens. Extreme weather conditions have prompted Australia's most populous state to declare a state of emergency. It's a second time in two months that authorities have taken this step as more than 120 fires rage, fueled by a record-breaking heat wave. We're talking about New South Wales. More than half of the fires in that state remain uncontrolled. And take a look at this. A sudden snowstorm caught some New Yorkers off guard. This is a time lapse video. It shows an intense short-lived burst of heavy snow along with gusty winds enveloping the city. The potent band of snow associated with an arctic cold front produced near white-out conditions covering the city in a sudden cloud and dusting of snow. I'm Lynda Kinkade. That was CONNECT THE WORLD. Thanks so much for watching. We're going to have more after a quick break.
New South Wales, Australia, Declare State of Emergency.
