17 stunning but scary pictures from Winter Storm Quinn you honestly just have to see
Is it just us, or does it feel like winter is never going to end? Maybe it’s because of the back-to-back-to-back winter storms we’ve been experiencing. Just when we recovered from the wet and windy Winter Storm Riley in early March, Winter Storm Quinn came knocking. And on Wednesday, March 7th, it showed the East Coast what it’s capable of. The nor’easter brought serious amounts of wind, rain, and snow. At one point, there was even thundersnow in New York City, and Twitter all but lost its mind. Today, Thursday, March 8th, many are waking up to an icy white winter wonderland. And you have to see these Winter Storm Quinn pictures for yourself.
This is the kind of snow accumulation that ices over roads, cancels school, grounds flights, and generally causes all kinds of disruption in your day-to-day life. It’s beautiful to look at, but it sure can do some damage. If you’ve had enough of the winter weather, don’t worry — Winter Storm Quinn is expected to end by Friday, March 9th. As the nor’easter makes its way up the East Coast, stay inside and look at these Winter Storm Quinn pictures under a blanket with a mug of hot tea.
Many East Coasters woke up to a beautiful winter wonderland in their front yards today.
