Last night, Staten Island residents aired their grief about the blizzard in a City Council hearing about the city's crappy response. NY1 has a sampling of some of the statements—"This is the first time of my history of 65 years living in New York, that I ever been not able to go out of my house" and “I'm giving sanitation a break. My anger is directed at New York City Transit, in particular Staten Island buses." And tonight at 6 p.m., there will be a blizzard response hearing in Brooklyn, at Brooklyn Borough Hall. more ›

Queens resident Miguel Mena got some good news and some bad news after last week's blizzard. The good news is that his car had not been towed, and was parked right where he left it in Mapleton, Brooklyn (near his job). The bad news is that plows weren't able to see it under a pile of snow, and crashed it into an unrecognizable hump of scrap metal. Sadly, no one seemed to be there to videotape it. more ›

As part of the residual blizzard-related-news trickle, the Daily News asks whether or not New Yorkers should be raising their pitchforks in anger at Mayor Bloomberg, because he may not have even been here. He might have been in Bermuda! And not left a Deputy Mayor in charge! Anarchy! (Snownarchy?) Except City Hall spokesman Jason Post told us, "There was no confusion; the Mayor was in charge." Resume your angry mobbing, please. more ›

The Boxing Day Blizzard of 2010 can add two more lives to its list of victims: An unidentified 66-year-old man died after being found nearly frozen to death on an unidentified subway platform the Monday after the storm, and a three-month-old infant—who was left brain dead when EMS couldn't get to his door in time because of snow drifts two days after the storm—succumbed to his injuries yesterday. Authorities would not release any information regarding the dead man other than his age. We sincerely hope these are the storm's last casualties. more ›

Excuse our sarcastic quotation marks, because even if this is true it's almost too ridiculous. The Sanitation Department is saying, over a week after Blizzageddon paralyzed NYC, that there was a massive "equipment glitch" that caused many of the plows to fail. And what was that glitch, you ask? A "tripping mechanism" that caused the plows to stop if they hit something, like a giant pile of snow. more ›

Sure, Mayor Bloomberg got to ring in 2011 in Times Square amid excited revelers, but he's getting the Bronx cheer from the papers. The Post makes the Katrina-comparison on its front page and declares, "Mayor Bloomberg yesterday had his 'Katrina' moment -- hailing his Sanitation commissioner amid a torrent of criticism over the department's bungling of the blizzard cleanup. Bloomberg warmly praised Sanitation Department boss John Doherty -- and promised him his job was safe -- in a moment reminiscent of then-President George W. Bush's infamous endorsement of FEMA chief Michael Brown in the horrific aftermath of Hurricane Katrina, when Bush said, 'Brownie, you're doing a heck of a job.'" Hey, it's character-building, right? more ›
