Well, the Blizzard of 2015 is officially upon us! As you are no doubt aware, Mayor de Blasio has said that we are “most likely” in for “one of the largest snowstorms in the history of this city,” with forecasters expecting 20 to 30 inches of snow to drop on New York tonight and tomorrow morning. Of course, we won’t know for sure if this is, in fact, a record-setting snowfall until sometime on Tuesday, which is probably starting to feel pretty far off as you settle in on the couch with your milk and bread and power-outage-related fears. Let’s take this opportunity to look at some nice photos of the extreme winter wonderlands created by New York City’s ten biggest snowstorms (so far). It’s not like you have anywhere to be.
