Reply to comment by RAXIZZ in Council seeks steep fines for NYC chain stores that fail to shovel snow by King-of-New-York

I live in NYC, and from my experience driving to and from NJ in snow, your highways are ALWAYS being plowed by 4-6 trucks while icing mid day.

In NYC they just wait till the over night crew starts it up.

Lol no, the plows in NYC are usually driving around before it even starts to snow. Sometimes they just drive around dropping salt/sand/gravel on the streets in prep, then they start plowing once the snow gets heavy.

I’m talking about the highways dude, not the streets.

Highways as well. I’ve never in my life since living here which is 18 years, been on an unplowed highway in NYC. except maybe that one year when the city lost its mind over 3 inches of snow.

Come to Staten Island on a snow day and tell me how safe you feel on the expressway haha also I’m born and raised here 29 years.

It’s the weirded thing, slushy snow the entire way to the outer bridge then you get to NJ and there’s literally plows on the every lane.

Yep. Serious overkill for the roads, and absolutely nothing for sidewalks.
