New York gets a little snow every year. It's especially likely to happen around Christmas, and it can make the city look beautiful. You can have too much of a good thing though, and New York City got precisely that in 1947.
As seen in this picture, the Great New York Blizzard of that year buried the city under piles of the white stuff. More than two feet fell in just 24 hours, and trapped cars had to be abandoned in the streets.
