Photos of New York at Blizzard ‘Jonas’ by Michele Palazzo

Street photographer Michele Palazzo captured stunning images of New York City at last week’s blizzard ‘Jonas’.

The colossal blizzard named ‘Jonas’ affected over 80 million people all along the east coast of the United States. Especially the metropolitan area of New York was particularly hard hit by the snowstorm. With more than 26 inches of snow in less than 24 hours, Jonas was the second biggest blizzard in New York City’s history.
