After soaking in tropical paradise where the only worry I had was where my next Pina Colada was coming from — we came home to snow. And not just any snow but the word on everyone’s lips “blizzard”. I was surprised, after all NYC has seen it’s fair share of blizzards, even if this was purported to be the 6th largest in recorded history, we were built for bad weather, how could a blizzard shut us down? But it did.
Streets in Brooklyn remained unplowed until all of yesterday — and not just side streets but big ones like Ocean Avenue. This left not only residents stranded but I’ve heard reports of buses stranded too. The sentiment around the water cooler was that seemingly only Manhattan got its streets cleaned, the rest of us were persona non grata on Bloomberg’s priority list.
Some interesting coverage on 2010′s blizzard.
