Temperature map of Northeast USA and Southeast Canada.
The temperatures are well above freezing in majority and any snow resulted from high altitude freezing.
At any rate, the trees, the valuable 'carbon sink' trees, suffer in Climate Change again. They received 'heavy' snow and their 'canopies' are destroyed. This is the sequelae of Human Induced Global Warming that puts Earth on an exponential curve to higher and faster and deadlier warming patterns. The weather is deadly, NOT TO HUMANS in this case, but, to the most valuable of terrestrial carbon sinks, THE TREES.
People are smart.
They know the real tragedy in allowable climate change under USA administrations is the severe damage to species and the ever increasing vortex of destroyed biota of Earth. That is what this photographer focused on.
Not the traffic.
Not the slush.
Not the holiday delays and discomfort.
This photographer focused on the trees and their inability to defend against Human Induced Global Warming resulting in Vortices of Damage.

Photographer states :: Heavy wet snow weighed down tree branches and even snapped many trees in half.
The quality of this snow is one of a 'hotter' environment. It is not light, fluffy and 'more icey.' It is basically slush. That is evident from the roadway. So long as AUTOMOBILES take their time, are courteous and use common sense the fatalities and accidents hopefully will be reduced. Noted in this picture, the roadway is wet but not icey or 'as slippery' as it could be. That is directly resulted from warmer temperatures rather than colder.
