Mother nature was not happy last weekend, dropping between 12 to 40 inches of snow along the U.S. northeast. Instead of grabbing a shovel, YouTuber Brian Maffitt pointed a video projector playing The Lorax out his window and documented the prismatic effects on the falling snow.

"I wanted to capture colors in the blowing snow, but the results were more magical than I imagined," Maffitt says in his video. As you can see for yourself in his video and his photos taken with a Canon 7D, Winter Storm Nemo's snow was magical, indeed.
