 out after a storm inundated  
 the borough with more  
 than two feet of snow on parts  
 of  the  New  York  City  region  
 this weekend. 
 As of 11:59 pm on Jan.  
 29, snow totals from Winter  
 Storm Kenan ranged from 9.5  
 inches  in  Central  Brooklyn  
 neighborhoods like Crown  
 Heights  to  more  than  11  
 inches  in  southern  Brooklyn  
 neighborhoods like Bay Ridge  
 and Sheepshead Bay, according  
 to the National Weather  
 Service. Bayside, Queens saw  
 some of the most snow, with  
 more than 13 inches as of late  
 Saturday. 
 The furious “bomb cyclone,” 
   as  it  was  referred  to  
 by meteorologists ahead of  
 its arrival in the Northeast,  
 stretched from the Carolinas  
 to Maine and forced many  
 New  Yorkers  inside  ahead  
 of and during its touchdown  
 early Saturday. 
 The city’s Emergency  
 Management  offi ce  advised  
 all  New  Yorkers  to  stay  at  
 home — or to use trains and  
 buses if they must go out. 
 Still,  the  Five  Boroughs  
 soldiered on, with surprisingly  
 limited interruptions  
 to the New York City subway  
 system,  and  seemingly  fastpaced  
 Sanitation services,  
 which  Mayor  Eric  Adams  
 lauded over the weekend for  
 “getting stuff done.” 
 During the fi rst  blizzard  
 of his tenure, the former Beep  
 made  good  on  a  promise  to  
 the  New  York  Post  to  shovel  
 outside of his own Brooklyn  
 home. And for kiddos who  
 didn’t have to worry about  
 whether  or  not  they  had  the  
 day off from school, city parks  
 turned  into  Mount  Everest  
 for brave Brooklynites looking  
 to hit the slopes. 
 Of  course,  there  were  
 some utility outages, perhaps

 due to the storm’s high wind  
 surges. Since Jan. 29, Con  
 Edison has restored power to  
 907 customers who were without  
 during the nor’easter, according  
 to  spokesperson  Allan  
 Drury. 
 As of noon Monday, the  
 energy  behemoth  was  working  
 to restore power to an additional  
 169 customers whose  
 services were knocked out  
 as a result of Kenan. Though  
 there  is  a  light  at  the  end  of  
 the tunnel, Drury warned  
 New Yorkers  to  stay  vigilant
