Photo Tour Friday: Pictures of a Blizzard – the Aftermath

The Nemo Blizzard: The Day after a Blizzard Pictures in Cambridge, Massachusetts

Not sure if it was a lucky or unlucky break in my vacation plans, but I was in the Northeast for the “Nemo” blizzard and what some weather channels were predicting to be the snowstorm of the century. Though it messed up my plans to go to Nantucket with my Cambridge-based sister, I sure had fun watching the snow fall (sideways, thanks to the wind) outside her apartment winter.

As I’ve been a Southern Californian for the past decade, I haven’t seen a blizzard in a long, long time, so I was quite unreasonably excited. Plus, I was leaving on Monday so didn’t have to deal with the aftermath, but I did trudge out into the snow on Monday after the blizzard ended to get some post blizzard pictures. The sun was shining, sidewalks were hidden, and cars were hesitant, but there were plenty of people out and about. There were some kids playing in snow drifts, but most people were either shoveling or simply delighting in being outside again after being cooped up for nearly two days. I was just happy to be walking in three-foot snow drifts again.

People who owned cars, however, may not have been quite as happy as these aftermath pictures of a blizzard detail…

Can you spot the two cars in this picture?

Shoveling out cars. This makes me glad I live in San Diego.

It wasn’t all shoveling, though. The snow highlighted the beauty of Cambridge and Harvard Campus as well…

This sunny and snowy setting looks so peaceful, it’s hard to believe there was a fierce blizzard raging less than 24 hours before…
