We're sure Dylan Dreyer and Sheinelle Jones would want to be covering the Winter Olympics from Beijing, but due to the coronavirus pandemic, the pair are actually still in New York City.

And on Wednesday, the Today host gave fans a small insight into their coverage as she and Sheinelle wrapped up warm as they posed in the Today Plaza. The duo were decked out in all their thermal gear, with Dylan rocking a fluffy fleece, red leggings, boots, gloves and an adorable embroidered hat. Meanwhile Sheinelle styled out a blue puffer jacket, black leggings and a bobble hat.

A second added: "You two are absolutely adorable!!!" while a third posted: "That's every soccer mom's dream!!"

However, some were a little concerned, as one commented: "Go inside! Not sure why they are making you do the show from outside," and another agreed: "I don't know which producer came up with this idea for y'all, but I am so sorry y'all have to be out in the cold like this. Silver lining - you all look amazing in your Olympic gear!"

Dylan is now a mom-of-three

Although Dylan is providing this coverage, she recently stood down from her time on Weekend Today in order to focus on her family, and she was overcome with emotion as she said goodbye to the TV program.

While standing in the snow, Dylan told viewers: "It's really bittersweet to step away. I just want to say thank you to everyone at Weekend Today who actually gave me a chance on this show.

"I remember when I tried out for this show and it wasn't really something I knew that was going to happen and then it just sort of for lack of a better word snowballed in the position it became.

"My goodness, I'm so grateful that Weekend Today took a shot on me and took a chance with me because it has changed my life. I've raised my whole family now here in New York City and I really don't want to step away but I don't think I can do six days a week anymore."
