National Weather Service offices in New York and New Jersey have issued severe weather warnings through Sunday afternoon.

The snowfall was particularly felt in a city that has seen below normal snowfall levels in recent years. So, all weekend young and old, locals and tourists flocked to the famous park to enjoy it.

New York is covered in 10 cm of snow as the winter storm hits. Strolling the Upper East Side, Central Park glows under the falling snow, with Billionaires’ Row skyscrapers like One57 and 432 Park Avenue in view.
