At the height of the blizzard, Manhattan faced two to three inches of snow an hour and wind gusts of 40miles per hour. It is incredibly beautiful to see a city of concrete and steel clothed with white and pure snow.
New York is most beautiful during the Fall and Winter months, but that photo above of the Manhattan Bridge over Brooklyn (credit to Chris Hondros at Getty Images) is a classic! New York is capable, at the right moment with the right conditions and the lens, of being photographed as stunning art and the most beautiful and ingenious city in the world.
Manhattan is such a bustling center that snow often does not pile up. Snow melts faster on warmer concrete and gravel and within the city - where car exhaustion and other pollutants heat up the atmosphere - it takes a lot for the snow to not dissipate. Cars run over it, people walk over it. It seems on Central Park is a safe place for snow flakes. But this past weekend the snow was so overwhelming that the city was covered no differently than if it were the New England country.
