Snow winds down with just a couple inches across Staten Island

Snow winds down with just a couple inches across Staten IslandIt paled in comparison with last week's blizzard and was likely welcome news for a Sanitation Department on high alert.Mayor Michael Bloomberg promised that the response to today's storm would be much better than last week's -- but it's hard to tell how borough roads would have looked if we had anywhere close to the 20-plus inches that fell Dec. 26 and 27.

Between 1 and 2 inches fell in the borough this morning and afternoon, according to the National Weather Service, giving a fresh coat to the dirty piles of snow and ice leftover from the blizzard.


After snow or snow showers are possible tomorrow, a real test could come Tuesday, when AccuWeather.com is forecasting another major snow storm could impact the area. Bloomberg and Sanitation Commissioner John Doherty took a lot of heat for the city's snow removal efforts last week. They promised to do better this time.
