Social Sound Off: Commuters vent about Thursday's snow s**t show
NEW YORK (1010 WINS) -- The morning after the first snowstorm of the season stranded drivers on area roads for several hours, turned the Port Authority Bus Terminal into a chaotic mess and had officials pointing fingers, there are a lot of questions about why nobody saw this coming.
State police said there were at least 500 accidents on area roads.
People turned to social media to vent their frustration and share their horror stories Friday morning.
Here's a roundup.
1010 WINS Facebook:
Mike Mastropasqua: 5 hours to get home from JFK to Staten Island --
Fuser Carangui: Nereid ave bx ny it took me 2hours that usually takes me 5min
Mike Joseph: Was at the port authority for 3 hours waiting for a bus, then that bus took 2.5 hour to get home to central jersey. Broke my own personal record for longest commute!
Fuser Carangui: From west 123th st to white plains rd & nereid ave it took me 5hours 1/2 crazy...
Iris Cruz: What is my normal 10 minute drive to work with no traffic took 2 hours ... headache is an understatement... at a standstill for 1 1/2 hours ...cars were stuck due to no plowing and then you have the crazies that want to beat the traffic and make it worse... nyc was failed last night smh
Kimberly Feinman Martiuk: 7 hrs 22 mins to get home. I got off the deegan at Willis ave and cut through the Bronx on the icy streets to get to the GWB. Got home after midnight. Awful commute. Not my normal 45. Or even my "bad 1.5 hrs"
Nelson Paredes: It took 1 hour and 30 minutes from Co-Op City in the Bronx to The Bronx House in Pelham Parkway which usually takes 15 minutes.
Nicky Ceraldi: Politicians had nothing but bullshit excuses! Everyone and I mean EVERYONE knew the weather was predicted to be bad and the weather was SPOT ON!!!
Brian Liverpool: What happened is that there is too many people that can’t drive for anything in the world and are always the ones coming out of the house for no reason at all.
1010 WINS Twitter:
Waited almost two hours for a bus at the state-of-the-art Port Authority and then had a four-hour commute home (traveled 20 miles). The highways and residential streets were not plowed or salted. #EpicFail
— Elizabeth Llorente (@Liz_Llorente) November 16, 2018Took my husband 11.5 hrs to get home last night... beyond unacceptable! Is this the first time ever to snow in this city? NO! He was stock for 8hrs in just one block!!! Unbelievable!#nycsnow @1010WINS @NYDailyNews @nypost https://t.co/rDU2SFFm4l
— Melissa Garrido (@MelGarridoR) November 16, 2018Took me 5 hours & 3 minutes to get home. My normal commute is 35min. And let’s not forget being stuck on Whitestone bridge for an hour while it SWAYED IN THE GUSTS OF WIND!!
— David Bowie's Child (@Technicolordt) November 16, 2018I’ve moved on from what is being done to help to WHO IS LOSING THEIR JOB TOMORROW???? Someone has to. Lives were at risk. You’ve let us down, @NYCMayor.
— McKell Forbes (@KellForb) November 16, 2018@1010wins it took my husband 9 hours to get to New Rochelle from Edgewater NJ this was after the GWB reopened! Stuck on Gun Hill road for 6hrs. Teenagers directing traffic instead of police.
— Beth (@BethBonvo) November 16, 2018@1010WINS @1010WINS not acceptable from the mayor, as he stated it was an unusual storm. As a teacher I’m appalled not closing the schools early not taking in consideration of the New York City board of Ed employees and their safety as well @NYCMayor
— Shahreen Mourad (@Shahreen_parisa) November 16, 2018@1010WINS Elementary teachers were at conferences until 7:30pm last night. Then hours to get home. What were they thinking?
— Pam Flint (@PamFlint2) November 16, 2018That was a joke... plows not out since they weren’t expecting that much snow.. -- kids stranded in afterschools and daycares because parents could make it worst commute ever in 20something years...
— Hanna S (@HannaSkiba) November 16, 2018And then there's this guy...
It took me 5 hours and 40 minutes to travel from Piscataway to Mendham. #snowmess https://t.co/7jhstTjfgX
