December Blizzard

Blizzard on the East coast this Sunday came unwarranted and shut down almost whole of New York and New Jersey. The first heavy snowfall of the season, measuring almost two feet; came quite early this year. Last year, this kind of heavy snowfall came in February but this time it's already snowy-white. 


This weekend storm definitely came at a bad time, as its the holiday season and instead of going out, people were stuck inside their homes. A complete standstill, one can say; as the transportation system went down, trains were cancelled and airports were closed. It brought everything to a halt, schools were closed, offices were closed and ofcourse one couldn't see any traffic on roads also, as the gusty winds brought the visibility down to almost zero.


Some called it 'Snowmaggedon', 'Snowpocalypse'' or 'Christmas Blizzard of 2010', it sure was a big one to end this year on a stormy note. Anyways, now that the storm is over and there's no other snow storm warning for the coming week, we can surely plan for our new year weekend. Now the plans for the holidays will have a touch of snow.
