iWitness contributor Natalie N sent this picture from Danbury, CT. "This is a picture of the snow falling in big flakes very rapidly, and heavy as Winter Storm Luna roles in here on the East Coast. Also, actually gathering since the ground is so cold, and on the grass surface, up to half an inch! Looks like this winter is pretty normal, unlike the mild 2012."
