NEW YORK SNOWSTORMS
The truth is: New York rarely comes to a complete halt during even the most ferocious blizzard
Much depends on the timing of the storm. If the blizzard occurs in the middle of the day, then the city is usually as crowded as ever. If, on the other hand, the peak of the blizzard occurs overnight and into the morning, then a great number of people may choose to stay indoors for awhile. When that happens, there is a rare opportunity for photographers to capture "post-apocalyptic" New York snow scenes. And if the snow is coming down hard in the morning and the plow has not yet come through, there is a brief opportunity to see Manhattan in a form that few ever witness. This has occurred perhaps three times in the last twenty years.
These photos record some of those precious moments.
