We set out to cover New York City's 2nd biggest snowstorm since 1869. Central Park total snow accumulation at the end of the winter storm was 26.8 inches. We started at 1am Saturday at the Brooklyn Bridge, covering the Dumbo area. We proceeded into the city shortly after and covered midtown Manhattan, Central Park, Columbus Circle, Midtown East, and Queensborough bridge. By the time we arrived in Long Island City, in Queens, it was about 6 a.m. with zero visibility. We decided to head back to the studio in Bushwick, in Brooklyn, to call it a night. Craig Nisperos started his time-lapses midday Saturday during the storm's most intense winds reaching up to 40+ mph hour. On Sunday, we wrapped it up by getting some additional footage and including some aerials.
