Christmas Blizzard of 2010: Mayor Bloomberg defends NYC's response to winter storm, mass transit

Summary -----> This article is about New York having the sixth largest snowstorm in history. There were four foot drifts. This blizzard was about 18 to 24 inches of snow. Good thing was that no deaths were reported. Many complaints were going around about snow-clogged roads and AWOL plows. The sanitation department said most of the major avenues were being plowed , but side streets were a big problem. The three major area airports are closed. Many subway lines, tunnels and bridges were closed . Buses and taxis were very hard to find. Many people spent the night in airports. Mayor Bloomberg said that tomorrow there were going to be limited services and this wasn`t going to be an easy task.


Reaction---- > Wow , I cant even remember the last time we had such a huge blizzard. I dont really think the city handled the blizzard too well. The street I live in wasnt even plowed so a lot of cars were stuck. We tryed calling 311 and they werent even available. The city could have done better because peoples tax money is put into this.
