A Slushy, Mushy, NY Morning

So, we had a little bit of snow here in NYC this morning, causing mass chaos far and wide. We had about 4 inches before it turned to sleet/rain...

Here are some of the lovely winter scenes...
Here, we have a pic of the slushy mess underfoot when crossing the streets... Why?
Well, because the NYC Department of Sanitation did not get out there and plow the streets. Here is a major intersection in Ridgewood/Middle Village, Queens. Yummy streets...

Here is a terrific example of neighborhood goodwill. The excellent shoveling job performed. (In all honesty, this site is owned by the MTA and they do nothing...)
Here is a plow. Notice it is in the 'up' position. That doesn't do much good when the street are snow covered... Oh well, I guess they know something I don't know...

    also - there are no photos of the millions of annoying idiots walking around the streets with umbrellas protecting them from the "onslaught" of snow falling down

  4. That is a good point... Love that the extra 5 minutes it might have taken to shovel an extra 10 feet of sidewalk was a bit too much...

  5. Yes, quite the 'onslaught' of snow...

    Golf umbrellas are really not necessary when people are 7 wide across a sidewalk...

    COME ON PEOPLE!

    That's crap! At least in WI we bombard the streets with salt and sand when we're too lazy to plow...
