    Hey Homer, I haven’t made a film about snow in over a week. Shucks, should I go out there and see what is going on? Just kidding, even I am tired of the snow and want no part of it.

    Mother Nature, I give up.

    NYC finally came to grips with a month of snow cover:

    Alternate Side Parking Rules Suspended Until Further Notice
    Wednesday, January 26, 2011

    Alternate side parking (street cleaning) rules will be suspended citywide until further notice for snow removal.

  • Hello Brooklyn

    They couldn’t have pulled the trigger on that before 8am today when everbody had to move in the heights (and it was already snowing)? ASP Suspension FAIL.

  • Heightsman

    Seriously, read a weather report and pull the trigger. I watched as friends cars were being towed this morning only to be suspended an hour later.

    Agree, ridiculous that they waited until after 10 am to suspend parking regulations–after we had moved the car. Did they not think that could be a slight problem for many people. Fortunately I was able to get back out there around 2:30 and move it back.

    Just looked out my window. Can’t see a damned thing, there are all these white things falling from the sky that are blocking my view. Am I missing something?

  • Winstion Smith

    Yeah the city definitely dropped the f’ing ball with the alternate thing today and I’m really pissed… I missed stay’n over at my girlfriends last night, cause I had to move the car this morning… and when I did, it was so slippery out I almost wrecked it… drove around for an hour looking for a spot, then 10 minutes a after I parked I get a text from the city announcing the suspension of regulations… man if I worked for the Post Office there would be real trouble… Me thinks the DOT control room is full of drunk chimpanzees randomly pressing buttons…

  • nabeguy

    Winston, they share that control room with the DOS. Funny that the DOE has a so-called “rubber room”. Most of the other city agencies act like it’s their home office.

    Love the thunder-snow. Quite a winter!

  • Andrew Porter

    They kept raising the amount of snow due, now maybe a foot. Coming down like a son-of-a-gun outside my window, the snow sticking to the side of the St. George Tower in an interesting way. Maybe I shd go to bed…

  • David on Middagh

    Good morning, all. The oak branches outside are supporting six inches of snow.

    A limo driver is parked in the middle of Middagh, at Hicks. I hope he isn’t stuck…

  • aaa

    Anyone know the total snow fall? Totally didn’t expect schools to be closed.

  • Mickey

    19.3 inches in Central Park. Not sure what that translates into for the Heights. I’m not an engineer, but I’m guessing it was higher than the 4 to 8 inches they were predictiing this time yesterday!

  • Andrew Porter

    Just one more inch and we set the record for all-time snowiest January ever! Kind of like the folks in New Orleans bragging about the highest watermark ever for Katrina, though…

    poor tree in front of iris cafe. Looks like it’s about to succumb to the weight of the snow.
