Yesterday, Sanitation Commissioner John J. Doherty reminded everyone to be patient with the plows, and now we know why. If they're not ramming into parked cars they're just plain stuck! Yes, it seems Blizzageddon was just too much for the fleet to handle, and the poor guys are all tuckered out. Below are some of the best examples of snow truck incompetence across the city. At this rate we might just have to wait for spring.

"3 NYC Sanitation snow plows got stuck on a brooklyn street...it took over 8 hours for the trapped plows to be freed but not after many failed attempts from various sources."

Clearly, the city should have just called Mr. Plow
