Amazing time-lapse footage has emerged from the US showing just how powerful the recent blizzard to hit the east coast actually was.

The video, filmed in a garden in Purcellville, VA, US for 24 hours between Friday and Saturday afternoon, shows the garden furniture and a barbecue slowly but surely becoming completely engulfed by snow.

By the end of the time-lapse, almost nothing but snow is visible in the garden.

The video was originally uploaded on social media by Ryan McElhenny and it has since gone viral.
