trying to dig out and clean up from saturday's storm. but there are more calls tonight. the city isn't doing enough to clear streets. >> after a frustrating morning commute, now claiming things should be back to normal tomorrow. the storm deadly in our area with people found in and around their cars in hacken saw, mahwah, and sunset park, brooklyn. >> we're going to begin with eyewitness news reporter lucy yang. >> it was a gruesome discovery today for a group of middle school students. they were coming home for school around 3:30 this afternoon when they noticed something in their neighbor's driveway. never did they imagine they would find a cold body underneath all of this snow. >> i was like, is that a bag of clothes? we were so confused. >> reporter: a manda and her friends had just gotten off the school bus monday afternoon when they saw a winter coat peeking

neighbor's driveway. so they knocked on the neighbor's door to tell her. there was no answer. they went back to the coat only to uncover the horrifying reality that their neighbor had been buried in the blizzard. >> one of my other neighbors went up and we were all scared. and she kind of poked her and she moved a little bit of snow and she's like, she's definitely a person. we called our parents and we all ran home. >> reporter: mahwah police confirmed the victim was 64-year-old mary wall with no footprints around the body, officials believe she died while trying to clear the snow on saturday. they found a shovel near her body. >> it would appear at this point that she suffered a medical condition while shoveling during the storm and unfortunately it wasn't found until today. >> reporter: neighbors on sunnyside road say they are a close and friendly block, but the woman pretty much kept to herself. >> i typically go up and down the block just to make sure the elderly is cared for. >> reporter: steve says he

>> she preferred to be left alone, didn't necessarily want any favors. i wish she would have asked for help or something. i didn't know her personally. >> police tell us they've notified the victim's next of kin. amanda said it was hard to focus on homework tonight after what she saw up here. lucy yang for channel 7 eyewitness news. >> understandable. thank you. now to another body found, this one in a snow covered car in new jersey. an autopsy will be performed on the elderly woman to figure out how she died. her body was found in a burger king parking lot in hackensack today. workers say the 78-year-old woman told them saturday she was going to sit in her car because she didn't want to drive in the blizzard. police have identified a man also found dead inside a snow covered car. police say the body of ganell was discovered this afternoon in sunset park in the

it's not yet clear if he died from carbon monoxide poisoning. plenty of kudos for workers trying to clean up but there have been pockets where that's not happened. mountains of impassible snow as you can see from newscopter7 and neighbors in queens filled with anger, at least some of them. josh einiger in fresh meadows tonight. any better conditions out there tonight? >> i guess it depends on your point of view. here in fresh meadows i'm on a small street beside a cemetery. they've got these giant dump trucks filled with snow they're pulling out of these neighborhoods. they're then creating this mountain here and then starting we're told possibly as early as tomorrow they're going to take all that snow and put it in this machine which will melt it and turn it in to pure water and melt it all away. that is progress to be sure, but to a lot of people in a lot of these neighborhoods, it just barely scratches the surface.

department is almost 1,000 plows in queens alone. that's nearly half the city's fleet but this truck was no match for this section. on 75th street, a car parked right in the way. still people here blame the city. >> they haven't partly -- they haven't plowed the streets in two days. >> we should get a little bit of representation. >> reporter: here on 75th the crowd gathered for nearly two hours as workers managed to get that truck back down the hill where it got stuck again. and a front end loader had to lift the vehicle. this is why streets are still a mess in so many spots. the conditions are simply impossible, and it's why mayor de blasio was asking for patience even though he admits

>> some areas strong, others less so. i didn't see the kind of results i wanted in sunnyside, west side, elmhurst, corona. >> reporter: in middle village the mayor hasn't made many friends. >> made lindsey look like a star. >> ghosts of mayor's past always loom large over every snowstorm in new york. for them there was coffee and cheers. when the big truck was finally freed ready to continue the fight. >> and back live, you're looking at another dump truck that's just about to empty out its load of snow on to this ever growing pile, this mountain here in fresh meadows where eventually it will meet its fate in this giant machine behind me that we're told can melt up to

sanitation department said it will be here as long as necessary and will be likely necessary for quite some time. we're live in fresh meadows, queens. josh einiger, channel 7 eyewitness news. >> they're working very hard. new at 11:00, flights finally taking off and landing at laguardia. to try to go to or from the airport are finding themselves in massive gridlock on the ground tonight. a backlog of flights and an ambulance fire that shut down earlier combining to cause a traffic nightmare. some people stuck in barely moving traffic for two histories. add to that a lack of taxies. the wait more than three hours. quite a headache. trouble on the track s. but now some movement. what a nightmare of a day for some riders on the lirr. tomorrow the four branches closed will be up and running for the morning commute. the announcement coming within the last hour. n.j. burkett rode the rails posting this update on twitter. he's in mineola.

main line of the lirr in mineola and yes, the railroad has just announced that full service will be restored across the entire system, all of the branches in time for the morning rush hour. but some riders will be skeptical after what they went through today. before piling on to trains, still simmering about their morning commute. >> they knew at that point that they weren't going to be operable at 5 a.m. so they should have informed us. >> reporter: few would have expected it. main line commuters huddled like arctic penguins in the cold, waiting for trains that were slow to arrive despite promises of an uneventful commute. in a press

railroad officials seemed to leave little doubt. seven of the lirr's 12 branches representing the majority of lirr service, officials said, would be fully operational by 5 a.m. monday. but the blizzard left much of the railroad's fleet and infrastructure snowed in. despite round the clockwork, it was a promise the railroad could not deliver. even as trains began moving on the major branches, four smaller branches remain shut down this evening. we are extremely disappointed in the completeness and accuracy of communication provided by the lirr to its riders, said the railroad's watchdog group, demanding the mta conduct a transparent investigation. lirr rider richard gillmartin has his own advice. >> always be conservative. never over promise . try to do the opposite. if you think it's going to be ready in an hour, tell them three hours. >> keep in mind the port

back online until just this afternoon. nearly 48 hours after the train stopped running and again now the update from the railroad, the entire system expected to be restored in time for the morning rush hour. live tonight in mineola, long island, n.j. burkett, channel 7 eyewitness news. in new jersey pass service between newark penn station and journal square will be suspended through tomorrow's rush. 650 workers are working on removing the snow from the tracks. the system was inundated by snow drifts as high as 16 feet. path is adding limited shuttle bus service and new jersey transit is cross honoring tickets. service should resume by tomorrow afternoon. the streets aren't entirely cleared in hoboken but public schools will reopen anyway. crews slowly making head way. discounted garage parking has been extended until wednesday.

newark where many of the streets are buried in two solid feet of snow. residents across that city complaining their streets are impassible two days after the blizzard. the mayor under mounting pressure tonight but for his part, urging patients. >> trying our best to get the streets clean so people will be able to go to work and kids are able to go to school. we'll do it as fast and expeditiously as we possibly can. >> schools in newark will again be closed tomorrow. temperatures falling right now and meteorologist lee goldberg is tracking another storm so how much will it affect us? >> that remains to be seen. we'll talk about that close call. refreezing at night. falling ice and snow, snow on the car tops, keep a lot of distance between the car in front of you. we're 38 and melting in new york city. look the suburbs. more on that late week storm coming up in accuweather in a few minutes.

>> looked like an elderly fellow. there was a ton of snow on his vehicle. decided to help him out, clean his car off for him. >> i give him a lot of credit. our officers, just like every other police officer, they're compassionate. they're not here to ruin anybody's day. >> reporter: he said each snowstorm his officers hand out a handful of tickets for people who don't clear off the snow. those people don't realize they pose a danger to themselves and others. joe torres, channel 7 eyewitness news. a 71-year-old woman recovering tonight after being slashed across the face while riding the subway. police say she was on the southbound 6 train as it approached bleecker street this morning. that's when a man sitting across from her got up and slashed the left side of her face. the stups got off that train and on to another. -- the suspect got off
