Snowstorm aftermath

The snowstorm hit New York shortly before the evening rush hour. Snow fell very quickly and didn't stop at a slushy one inch, as forecasters had predicted. De Blasio and Sanitation Commissioner Kathryn Garcia said the die was cast, so to speak, and that agencies couldn't recover and had no time to deploy snow plows.
