When Mayor Bloomberg wears his sweater, you know he's all business (he was wearing one during the 2005 transit strike announcement, you know)! Anyway, today he mentioned that schools will be open tomorrow and that yesterday's and today's snow has made this the snowiest January ever:
"When the snow stopped falling at about 4:00 AM, the official reading in Central Park was 19 inches. This is roughly twice the amount of snow that yesterday's evening National Weather Service forecast told us to expect. And we have now had the snowiest January in New York City history. We have had 36 inches since January 1st, breaking a record last set in 1925."
However, alternate side of the street parking regulations are suspended tomorrow. Bloomberg also said, "OEM Commissioner Joe Bruno reports that dozens of ambulances were stuck at one point or another during the night. However, no patients were left in the stalled ambulances. The stuck ambulances were either rapidly towed out of snowdrifts, or patients were transferred to other ambulances that were dispatched to the scene. EMS reports that road and weather conditions made their response," so there was no replay of the compromised response during the December 26-27 blizzard.
You can read the Mayor's update about the snow here. The FDNY Tweeted, "#FDNY needs your help #NYC! Shovel out the fire hydrants on your block. It will help keep you, your neighbors and your family safe! #SNOW"
