With mid-winter upon us, we asked readers how they’ve been coping with the marathon of snowstorms hitting the Bronx this season.
For me, I’m an adult and it’s been lousy. I fell down once heading to church. The snow prevents you from going out and moving around and it makes things harder for everybody, but the young kids love it.
–Leon Tapia
I’ve enjoyed playing in the snow and throwing snowballs at cars and stuff. My school took me on a skiing trip and I went snowboarding, and from that day on, I just love the snow.
–Ian Tapia
It’s been a brutal winter. I’ve been here for about 60 years and I don’t remember it ever being so bad. The mayor wants people to move the snow right away, but a lot of seniors have health problems and can’t do it. I live two blocks from the store and I can’t get there.
–Jerry Sorensen
The way it’s been snowing is the way it should be. People think that during the winter time we’re supposed to have all these hot days…no! You have to expect it. We have, what, 27 days until spring? You’re going to have to deal with it and just trample through the snow like everybody else.
–Hubert Douglas
It’s been very bad. I fell down three times and had a big accident. I can’t do any business to make money, nothing. I’m tired of the snow.
