The sixth largest snowstorm in New York history buried the streets in four-foot drifts, brought transit to a halt and spread a strange and wonderful hush over the city. The Blizzard of 2010 dumped between 18 and 24 inches of snow – with 29 inches reported in parts of Staten Island – and winds gusts up to 60 mph. It was a blast roaming around taking photos of the city.

I was so lucky to have my uncle’s beach house in Milford, CT for the 4th, the misses and I toured around the neighborhood enjoying the fresh New England sites. We stopped by our good buddy Adam Meshberg’s house from the Meshberg Group to have a spectacular meal and watch the fireworks on the beach.
