The Christmas blizzard on NYC

NEW YORK (Reuters)

By Daniel Trotta Daniel Trotta – Mon Dec 27

After 17 hours of snowfall dropped 20 inches on New York's Central Park, the city was covered. Snow drifts piled 3 to 5 feet in some areas and giant mounds accumulated on the sidewalks where snow plows cleared the streets.
