ITHACA, N.Y. — Winter Storm Stella hit the area hard on Tuesday. However, despite hazardous road conditions and a slew of closures and cancellations, Ithacans found some creative ways to get around town and make the most of the blizzard.

Skis, sleds, and snowboards were just some of the ways Ithacans navigated the winter conditions. Here are some photos from Tuesday.
