10 Ways People Got Outdoors during 'Winter Storm Nemo'
February 10, 2013, 10:37 pm / Categories: Winter Gear, Biking, Running
Winter storm Nemo shut down parts of the East this weekend with more than 2 feet of heavy, wet snow. Blizzard conditions knocked out power and closed roads but also presented a venue for wintertime fun. We scanned Instagram and other social media outlets over the weekend to find these 10 shots of people who didn’t let Nemo slow them down. —Patrick Murphy
