\n The blizzard in Soho: \u201cNothing quite compares to the quiet that fills NYC on a snow day, where we all slow down to appreciate the little things around us: taking our pets out on a daily walk, the vendors who are open no matter what, and the times where we can play with our loved ones.\u201d

\n \u201cYesterday on my way back inside, I instinctively looked up to be certain I was turning on the correct street. For the first time ever, snow was blocking my view. I made it to my destination, only a little disoriented.\u201d

\n Williamsburg: \u201cI haven\u2019t been able to leave my house, but have felt ensconced in layers of snow. The snow is trying to devour everything outside my windows, from the tree branches to the Citi Bikes to the cars. Now, over 24 hours of snow later, all I can hear is a singular snow plow against the world.\u201d

\n \u201cThere is a specific kind of quietness that comes over Brooklyn during a snowstorm that I love, almost as if the coziness of a snow day extends to the streets outside. During my mid-morning photo walk, it felt like coldness of Crown Heights had given way to a homey warmth of a snow day. The very few people out on the street moved with a hush determination to get back inside, their footprints very quickly powdering over with a new layer of snow. It was a pretty and peaceful start to the day.\u201d

\n \u201cWe\u2019re from Shanghai, China, and we\u2019re visiting NYC to celebrate Chinese New Year. It\u2019s our first time seeing such heavy snow! This photo was taken from our hotel, the Ace Hotel New York, by a photographer on the street. I love New York.\u201d

\n \u201cI wanted to document the night as the blizzard intensified and then the next morning in my neighborhood of East Harlem. I grew up in Florida and never even saw snow until I moved to the city over 17 years ago. I love how it transforms New York \u2014 everything becomes eerie and surreal, the familiar turned totally alien.\u201d
