Christmas Blizzard Aftermath and Its Images – Tips and Thoughts

While I was excited on the first snow fall, especially at Christmas time, the blizzard warning for the East Coast was something to be worried about. I was correct as the projected 11 to 16 inches of snow was actually much heavier ranging from  17 to 31 inches within the tri-state area ( New Jersey, New York and Connecticut) and affected thousands of people.

According to tri-media reports, yesterday's blizzard left thousands of families with no power and electricity, operation of major airports and railways were shut down stranding so many passengers and official and business establishments have been closed, crippling the economy at least for a day.

The magnitude of the snowstorm was so enormous, as a matter of fact,  a photo of it was taken from NASA’s satellite focusing on the Washington, D.C. area.

So far, the Christmas blizzard which hit NYC was one of the biggest in the city’s blizzard history.  In our area, we had to plow the snow falls from our  front, sides and back yards.

While there were ill effects on some of the residents and travelling visitors of NYC, the snow fall accumulation gave the teens and kids who are now in their winter breaks together with their families the opportunity to go to nearby parks and enjoy playing in the snow with their sled, just like what others did!
