Blizzard of 2014

While it does not compare to my memories of the Blizzard of 1977 which crippled this part of NY, the Blizzard of 2014 was an event to remember. One of the things I will remember, is the stunningly beautiful day that followed. It was bitterly cold, but full of blue sky and sun. The photos below show Sonnenberg Gardens in a blanket of white in the day after the blizzard.
