Snow!

After Saturday-Sunday’s big snow storm hit Gerritsen Beach, folks are getting back to their routines as best they can. While the our streets are relatively cleared up , hundreds of flights have been delayed or cancelled, thanks to snow dumped at airports—14 inches at JFK, 11 inches at Newark and 9 inches at Laguardia.

NYC Sanitation Commissioner John Doherty was pleased with his department’s cleanup efforts, “It wasn’t as bad as we expected. We were talking 14 to 16 inches. … We thought it would be worse.” Well, it was worse elsewhere: There was record snowfall on Long Island—Upton, NY (where there is a National Weather Service center) got 26.3 inches—and residents and business are still digging themselves out. (There have been quite a few car accidents there.)
