New York Juno blizzard in Instagram pictures
- Text by HUCK HQ
Winter storm Juno ploughed into the East Coast of the US last night shutting down shops, transport, thousands of flights and forcing people off the streets in what meteorologists were warning could be a record-breaking blizzard.
But things didn’t quite get as crazy as the experts had predicted and as New York wakes up this morning there is only a reported 6.3 inches of snowfall, compared to the 30 inches being talked about in the press.
Here are some of our favourite Instagram pictures from the snow storm to put things into context.
