The recent snowstorm that blanketed the U.S. Northeast has earned various nicknames: Winter Storm Jonas, Snowzilla, even a playful “Make Winter Great Again.” But regardless of the moniker, one thing is undeniable – this record-breaking snowfall produced some truly stunning visuals.
This article features 10 ghostly, surreal, and extremely white pictures of Snowzilla. From the deserted cityscapes to the snow-laden landscapes, these images capture the storm’s unique beauty and eerie quietude.
The storm’s impact was undeniable. Heavy snow and howling winds crippled the region, shutting down public transportation, roads, and airports from Washington D.C. all the way north to New York City. Just a month ago, the Northeast basked in spring-like temperatures, coaxing some flowers into early bloom. The swift arrival of Snowzilla stood in stark contrast, blanketing the region in over a foot of snow overnight in Washington D.C. alone.
By Sunday, as the storm finally subsided, snow depths in some areas reached a staggering two feet. Baltimore witnessed its biggest snowfall ever recorded, nearly 30 inches, while the nation’s capital edged closer to its own record-holder – the Knickerbocker storm of 1922, named for the theater it tragically demolished.
These haunting and beautiful images offer a glimpse into the heart of Snowzilla, a storm that may have caused disruption but also left behind a breathtaking winter wonderland.
