2017 Blizzard “Stella” in Pictures

With some predictions for Winter Storm Stella as high as 2 feet, the five boroughs only received less than six inches during the storm that struck on Tuesday, March 15. Now many are questioning why school’s and elevated subways were shut and a State of Emergency declared. Although the city dodged the snow-bullet, counties like West Winfield, N.Y. received 42 inches and Binghamton, N.Y. got 30 inches.
