NYC Faces Travel Disruptions Due to Lingering Snow Piles
New York City continues to grapple with significant travel disruptions more than a week after Winter Storm Fern deposited over a foot of snow across the region. The storm has left behind massive snow piles, some resembling icebergs, obstructing roadways, bike lanes, sidewalks, and parking spots. Residents express frustration over the city's slow cleanup efforts, with sanitation workers having cleared 59,000 crosswalks and 12,000 fire hydrants, yet many areas remain blocked. The storm has also impacted public services, including CitiBike, with only 500 of its 2,925 stations cleared. Mayor Zohran Mamdani faces criticism for the city's handling of the aftermath, as cold-related deaths have risen to 17 since the storm.
