"That still could not compare to this winter of New York discontent, which began with 14 inches of snow on Jan. 26. What followed was a miserable three-week stretch of below-freezing temperatures. The snow stuck around, blocking crosswalks and bus stops and narrowing sidewalks. The social fabric began to fray. For some inexplicable reason, dog owners stopped picking up their pets' poop. Trash accumulated because alternate side parking was suspended and sanitation workers were busy tending to the snow, which became more disgusting"
""It just sucks for a lot of people that can't work in the city and they can't get paid time off, it just sucks for all of us," Sydney Buck, 33, said. "I'm coping by playing pool and having a couple shots of jager, that's what I'm doing." Buck, a private chef, said she'd had to cancel a pop-up up event for her company " Buckwild " on Tuesday because deliveries fell through. She estimated the event would've brought in $2,000."
New York City experienced a blizzard that compounded lingering dirty snow from a previous storm. The storm disrupted work and deliveries, prompting some residents to hoard groceries and others to visit local bars. A private chef canceled a $2,000 pop-up event after deliveries failed. Temperatures remained below freezing for weeks, leaving snow that blocked crosswalks, narrowed sidewalks, and accumulated trash as alternate-side parking was suspended and sanitation crews focused on snow removal. Dog owners stopped picking up waste, contributing to public unsightliness. Residents coped by stocking pantry staples and seeking communal spaces like bars for company and reprieve.
