19 Breathtaking Images and Videos Of NYC In The Grip Of Winter Storm Stella

Although the Winter Storm Stella didn’t give the city the pounding the weather men and women predicted (ice rain aside), we did get an amazing blanket of white covering our streets. We may have escaped the 25 inches some outlets predicted, but that didn’t stop NYC’s intrepid ‘Gramers taking to the streets and braving the snow and ice to bring us some absolutely breathtaking shots of the city. Check out the best of the best below:

4am wake up call to catch the #blizzard starting in #NYC ??☃️. I always love a good snow day and thought we’d had the last of it back in February. I’ll be wandering around #NewYork until around 9am today shooting Instagram Stories and some cool 360 content for @samsungmobileusa. Going to change things up from my usual #TimesSquare and check out the West Village, Stone Street & Flatiron. Get in touch if you have any cool snow spot recommendations in #Manhattan ?. Stay warm guys ?@beautifuldestinations (?: “Let It Snow, Let It Snow, Let It Snow” by Dean Martin).
