As season's first snow storm hits New York, here are few magnificent images 

'Heavy snow band'

Over 8 inches of snow was dumped all across New York city after it was hit by a quick-moving winter storm. AccuWeather meteorologist Tyler Roys while speaking to New York Post said, "The storm that we talked about yesterday is doing what we expected it to be doing. There’s a heavy snow band moving through eastern Long Island for the next few hours."

Unreliable condition

The snowfall is further expected to move out of the tri-state region. However, the but conditions will remain unreliable due to high winds. Clean up processes on roads can also be hampered.

'No one does it like New York'

“No one does it like New York and anyone that thinks they can bet against New York, there is another thing coming,” the mayor said. “A snowstorm is not going to stop us, an economic storm is not going to stop us. We are going to forge ahead," he added.
