In a normal place, a week without snowfall would be more than enough time for the streets to get plowed, the trash to get hauled and alternate sides parking rules to go back into effect. But this is Pothole City, where the plows are often bested by Mother Nature. Reader Matthew Braley sent us this photo from East 86th Street, writing, "Alternate Side Parking back in effect?! Smart move and totally fair considering the plows are still getting completely stuck as recent as 9am today."
Twitter has been aflutter with complaints as well, with Betty Chen summing it up: "How can they reinstate alternate side parking on Monday if many Queens streets barely have enough spots since both sides have snow piles????" But remember, it could be worse! All that plowing could be keeping you awake at night.
