See gorgeous photos of the first snowfall of the season in NYC

Well, it finally happened.

After weeks of being precipitately close to frozen precipitation, New York finally got its first significant snowstorm of the season yesterday. While the powdery white stuff didn't stick around for that long after landing, it still managed to produce a lovely, picturesque evening just in time for the holidays.

See some of the best shots of snow falling on the city for this first time this year below.

 

Did anyone else take a walk in the snow last night? ❄️ Photo: @martincoady #longislandcity
