The day after snowstorm Juno seen from Brooklyn neighborhood Crown Heights and from Prospect Park. Juno, which was announced as potentially "the biggest snowstorm in the history of this city" by Mayor De Blasio only two days before, ended up moving further east and departing faster than predicted. Snow predictions were far too high, but enough for New Yorkers to enjoy a fun family afternoon at the park, as most offices shut down, while other worked to clear roads and sidewalks.
