10 Oddly Beautiful Photos of the 2015 Blizzard

It might be difficult to think anything pretty could come out of a blizzard that dumped feet of snow on Massachusetts, closed business and schools, caused some major damage, prompted a travel ban -- and more could be on the way.

But some Massachusetts residents have managed to see the beauty in the 2015 blizzard, and they’ve taken the photos to prove it.

Residents across Massachusetts submitted their photos of the storm to The National Weather Service’s Boston page on Facebook. Most were similar to what you’ve seen on social media and news sites in the past few days: photos of cars buried in snow, rulers sticking out of the ground to measure snowfall and doors opened to see several feet of snow piled up around the frame.

But every once in a while a truly beautiful photo popped up and almost made the storm worth it.
