The BT Sport and ESPN commentator is enduring conditions which make the events of the past few days on these shores look like a light dusting of snow.

Blizzards reaching 70mph have seen roads closed, power outages, trees falling and the National Guard mobilised as the impact of the conditions wreaks havoc.

Darke has spent a sleepless night stuck in a traffic jam in the Poconos Mountains in Pennsylvania as 20 inches of snow fell.

He is hoping to cover US women’s meeting with France in the SheBelieves Cup tomorrow.
