New York City's streets plowed equally, mayor says [View all]

Eyewitness News
NEW YORK (WABC) -- The year's first big snowstorm was also the first big test for New York City's new mayor, Bill de Blasio.

Asked to give himself a grade for handling the snow in his first week in office, the mayor said, "I feel great about the response." But he quickly added, "We are not out of this yet."

"Based on the information I have right now, I give everyone an A for extraordinary effort and extraordinary effectiveness," de Blasio said. "Ask me my grade again in a few hours."

The snowstorm came about three years after de Blasio criticized his predecessor, Michael Bloomberg, for failing to lead a quick snow cleanup in all parts of the city.
