The Great Blizzard of 1947 Brought New York City to a Near Standstill
On a blustery New York City day in 1947, a massive amount of snow fell in 24 hours. The city was hit with 25 inches in 24 hours. The snow started at 3:00 am and continued into the following night. There were only a few inches in the morning but by midday the snowfall turned into a massive blizzard. This photograph shows many vehicles stuck exactly where they were abandoned for a short period of time.
