Yesterday’s storm was far from the worst New York has ever seen, but it was a good reminder of how fast and how thoroughly a nor’easter can dump snow in a high wind. From NOAA:
18.5 inches in lower Manhattan, 21.8 uptown, ranging from 17 to 24 across the rest of the city. Most of our weather comes from the west; this kind of storm (as implied by its name) sweeps up the Atlantic shore from southwest to northeast, hitting coastal areas the hardest.
Anyway, cool pictures from OSE staff from around the city:
And because I can’t help myself: the combination of wet snow and wind allows the snow to stick, for a little while, to the sides of buildings. In this case, the round voids in the snow nicely outline the locations of anchors for the stone veneer.
