A blizzard won't stop true Justin Bieber followers, or "beliebers." These fans are going to brave the inclement weather that is expect to hit much of the Northeast on Saturday night.

The pop star's legion of fans have already began to camp out on the blistery New York City streets for the opportunity to see Bieber, who will host and perform as the musical guest on Saturday Night Live this weekend.

The 18-year-old Canadian pop sensation Bieber was discovered after a chance meeting with R&B superstar Usher and has since enjoyed tremendous success as a teen idol--with record breaking album sales, sold out concerts and numerous music awards already under his belt.

According to Today, nearly twenty Bieber fans were already in line outside of 30 Rock as of Friday morning, hoping to snag standby tickets for the legendary sketch comedy series. Normally, standby tickets are handed out the Saturday morning before each show. However, they do not promise one's admission. The tickets offer fans the chance to fill seats of those unable to attend a show for that evening.

Bieber fans Olivia Bee and Allyssa Yohanna joined the line on Thursday afternoon, and said they didn't get the emergency weather alert until they'd already set up camp.

"Originally we planned on, I was going to knit, (Olivia) was going to embroider and get homework done," Yohanna told TODAY.com. "But it's too cold and too wet."

"Now it's just like a really weird slumber party, outside in a blizzard," Bee said.

In light of the blizzard, as weather reports warn could bring up to a foot of snow in New York City, Saturday Night Live posted the message (see below) on Twitter that they will instead begin to distribute tickets at an earlier time.
