First Snowstorm of the Season Pummels City, Trees Down Across the Borough
Like the rest of the city, and most of the tri-state area, southern Brooklyn saw its fair share of backup Thursday evening, Nov. 15 thanks to the first snowfall of the season.
Amidst the storm, which started at around 1 p.m. and only strengthened throughout the day, traffic snarled along the Belt Parkway and the Verrazano-Narrows Bridge, resulting in an overspill onto Ridge streets, and lines for local buses such as the S79 and S53 that wrapped around street corners.
Friday morning, fallen tree limbs still littered many of Bay Ridge’s streets, some even blocking off portions of its major thoroughfares. However, this wasn’t an isolated issue. Neighborhoods across Brooklyn are still dealing with scattered tree parts as they head into the weekend.
