"The snow hasn't really affected us in any large capacity, especially due to the city's quick snowplow efforts,"
"Even on the day of the winter storm, I was able to go outside and hop on the MTA, which was fully functional. The only downside to all this snow is having to shovel, especially if you need your vehicle for work."
"The snowplows were barreling through here, but it was well-organized and taken care of,"
"Overall, it has been a positive experience for the kids - a quintessential snow day."
Winter Storm Fern produced roughly 8.9 to 12 inches of snow across Brooklyn, with neighborhood totals including 12 inches in Williamsburg and 11.3 inches in Flatbush. Plows continued overnight and cleared major roadways, leaving many neighborhoods with passable streets by morning, though sidewalks remained slick and many parked cars stayed encased in snow. MTA service operated and city snow removal efforts allowed residents to travel for work and recreation. Families used lingering snow for sledding and birthday activities. Overall impact was limited thanks to timely plowing and maintained transit service.
