Winter Storm Juno - New York City

New York City: After a day with spring like temperatures the snow came back furiously.

Winter Storm Juno New York City photos from tonight & info below....

(There's info about my NYC photo book below too! => Direct link to book: bit.ly/photobooknyc )

I have been photographing New York City during snowstorms at night for the past 5 years. When it comes to experiencing New York City in the snow, I relish the challenge. The more gusty, snowy, and brutal the storm, the more of a chance that I will be out in it traipsing around New York City with my cameras in tow.

When I heard that the MTA was suspending all transit service (and most vehicles) at 11 pm, I made the decision to take the train up to the Upper East Side prior to 11 pm to deposit myself up there with the intention of walking from the Upper East Side to Times Square and then walking the several miles back to the Lower East Side (whew!!).

The streets were eerily empty. Emptier than they are usually at night during snowfall.

Since there was a ban on all vehicles aside from snow plows and emergency services, there were practically no cars at all on the streets. Even taxis were banned from the streets!

I walked in the middle of avenues and streets that are usually teeming with cars.

There was an eerie sense of calm.

It was magical.

Acadia National Park in Maine is gorgeous at night! If you can brave the cold (and snow that the park is currently getting), winter is a great time to visit the park. From scenic winter drives and hiking to cross-country skiing and snowshoeing, there is something for everyone.

Can you help solve a mystery? Someone was photographed shoveling the snow at the Boston Marathon finish line during the Blizzard of 2015 – and now Boston wants to know who it is, using the hashtag #WhoShoveledTheFinishLine. http://nbcnews.to/1v4QjDx

So much snow. So much fun. 

[ilovebean]

We lucked out and only got a few inches of snow yesterday. But we still had a snow day. And it was the perfect amount for exploring in the woods.

#Blizzardof2015 The NOAA/NASA satellite Suomi-NPP took this photo last night of the blizzard striking the U.S. east coast using its VIIRS (visible and infrared light) spectrometer. Some of the cities are obscured by the clouds, but still show up. A spectacular photo to glance at for the people of New England who are hiding in doors today. -JBB Image credit: https://flic.kr/p/qXzx4F More on the satellite: https://directory.eoportal.org/web/eoportal/satellite-missions/s/suomi-npp
