It seems that the winter storm in NYC has made it’s way underground. The snow was originally supposed to stop falling by early afternoon, but instead is now predicted to continue into the evening. The “bombogenesis” winds have swept much of the fresh powdered snow into the subways, and the platforms are covered in so much snow it looks like it was actually snowing underground!
Here’s a look at some of the pictures people are sharing today of the unusual situation:

There is already 18”-20” of snow in the park by my house. Here’s what the subway station looks like. pic.twitter.com/go9z3SiIB4
