Yet More Photos of Sunday's Blizzard

For those not bored of the snow, or photos of the snow, here's some more shots courtesy of BxNN intern Lystria Hurley.  They were taken Sunday night. The subway station is the 174th Street stop (2 and 5 Trains). To see more of Lystria's photos, visit her blog.




Norwood After The Snow Storm



These photographs were made on Dec 27th. After about an hour of shooting my exposed fingers gave up burning and went numb on me, forcing me indoors!

Bronx News Roundup, Dec. 28

Police have arrested a man in connection with the murder of Betty Williams, a Bronx woman whose body was found stuffed inside a suitcase on a Harlem Street on Dec. 22. Hassan Malik has confessed to the crime, but claims Williams attacked him first, the police say. 

Police are still hunting for the boyfriend of a Kingsbridge Heights woman who was murdered back in August. Consumed by a jealous rage, Hector Ramirez allegedly stabbed Elia Zamora to death as their young son looked on. The case was recently featured on America's Most Wanted.

A 20-year-old Harlem man was shot dead in Williamsbridge on Sunday night.

PS 83 recently donated 500 lbs of food to the 49th Precinct's annual food drive.

Syracuse and Kansas State are gearing up for the inaugural Pinstripe Bowl football game at Yankee Stadium this Thursday. Syracuse's coach, Doug Marrone, grew up in the Bronx and attended Lehman High School, so the game is a homecoming of sorts. Yankees president Randy Levine says the match-up could boost the city's economy by $30 million.

Critics of the Croton Water Filtration Plant being built in Van Cortlandt Park say they're not surprised by allegations of corruption. One contractor plead guilty to fraud last month. Another is under investigation.

Riverdale (and everywhere else for that matter) was hit hard by Sunday's snowstorm, as these photos on  the Riverdale Press' website illustrate. Click here for photos BxNN readers sent in. State Sen. Ruben Diaz, Sr., meanwhile, has slammed Mayor Bloomberg and the city's lacklustre clean-up effort.

Rev. Diaz Blasts Mayor's Blizzard Response

State Sen. Ruben Diaz, Sr., is blaming Mayor Bloomberg for the mess made by this week's storm, saying the city was ill-prepared for Sunday's blizzard. The Rev. sent out these photos today of a stranded MTA bus  stuck in the snow at West Farms Road and East 167th Street.

“Days before this storm hit we all knew it was coming. No one even put chains on the tires of city buses, sanitation trucks or ambulances in preparation for the storm," Diaz said in a press release he sent out yesterday. "I have said it before and will say it again, Mayor Michael Bloomberg needs to be held accountable."

Gothamist has a growing photo gallery of abandoned city buses. For those of you who made it to work today--how was your commute? I took the 4 train, and though I waited a few minutes longer than usual, things appeared to be running fairly smoothly. 

Here are some additional photos of the storm's transportation wreckage, shot by Lenny Shutterman.

More Chilly Scenes From a Snowy Bronx

BxNN reader Dana Waddell sent us these two photos, taken from an apartment in Norwood. Dana's eight-month old cat was seeing snow for the first time. The houses shown in the second photo are on 206th Street between Perry and Bainbridge avenues.




This photo, from Carlos Reyes, was taken this morning on Tiebout Avenue between 182nd and 183rd streets.



The shots below are by Norwood resident Sally Dunford. The first is of building roofs on Bainbridge Avenue between 208th and 210th streets. The second is of the Bronx River Soldier statue which stands next to Valentine-Varian House, home to the Museum of Bronx History. The ironwork in the third photo is part of a fence near Williamsbridge Oval Park. The final photo is of Montefiore Medical Center's parking garage with North Central Bronx Hospital in the background.
