I'm in a different part of NYC and was wondering whether your source listed accumulations in other parts of the city.

It listed accumulations from lots of locations including New Jersey. No surprise that Jackson Heights was at the top of the list.
Heres a Ch. 7 link with accumulations but this does not include Jackson Heights: http://abc7ny.com/weather/here-are-the-snow-totals-for-new-york-new-jersey-and-connecticut/1171451/

I'm in Queens too and am annoyed that there are some blocks in my neighborhood that haven't seen a plow since the snow stopped. Turns out we're not alone.

BTW, I lived inQueens during the 1969 blizzard referenced in the DNA article. Lindsay totally ignored Queens; even main arteries like Jamaica Avenue were not plowed for days.

Now with this situation "DeBlasio isn't happy..." Cold comfort indeed. Sheesh. There are blocks near me that haven't been plowed since the snow stopped 21 hours ago. Couldn't they spare a plow from Manhattan since then?
