and so what you're seeing there in your footage is actually a front-end loader, which became the only piece of equipment that could clear 34 inches of snow or more down these streets, 'cause we also had a lot of drifting. sometimes on those streets, when i was with them, the front-end loader wheels almost are touching either car. that is how narrow some of these >> right. and they move more slowly than one of your sanitation trucks hooked up with a plow. >> yes. so, a sanitation truck in a bad storm is probably moving about 5 miles an hour. a front-end loader is literally going in, taking a scoop of snow, pulling it out, taking another scoop of snow and pulling it out, 'cause that's what we had to do in some of these very small streets. you couldn't even plow and push it. >> so, a normal block, if it just had a sanitation truck and a plow, let's say here on the upper west side at west 67th street, where it's wide and you could just go down the street -- that would take how long to go a block? >> maybe two minutes. >> right. and it could take an hour. >> oh, it took -- some blocks took

richard: leon, this is the kind of night when you need a front loader to plow out the gasoline station. look at this, we talk about drifting, look at that. that is snow that is frozen on the roof. i'm not going to get under there, but that will cause issues. that is another thing, wondering what it is like for a lot of thatngs that have roofs may collapse from the weight of the snow. here are the guys from upstate new york. what are you doing? the plow trucks get out so they can do their job clearing the roads. looks like they are trying to refuel now. just getting them out. richard: this is an interesting exercise. insulating us, keeping us warm so we can get out there and get the next plow out. richard: that's amazing, i feel like i'm in science class, warm by being in the snow. >> looks like our next victim over there is stuck. richard: are you working overnight? >> we are not working, this is volunteer, but we will keep helping people as long as we are able. richard: thank you so much for your help and service. these guys are all from upstate new york, used to this kind of stuff. j

a pair of front end loaders got stuck and slid into a parked car. city leaders blame drivers like patrick and ryan for cleaning more snow on the street to be plowed. in fact, anyone caught doing this faces a fine but these guys are not impressed. >> how are we going to get work? the mayor isn't going to pay the bills, is he? >> reporter: back live here in sunny side that front end loader is creating a mini mountain of snow. maybe about 50 feets worth of this road is right here in this giant mountain that he packed down here. the mayor, city officials want you to keep your cars parked. don't want more snow on the streets. that's why alternate side of the street rules are suspended until a week from tomorrow. josh einiger channel 7 eye witness news. >> josh, there's also a big digout underway in the garden state. this video shot by a drone shows parts of jackson, new jersey, an avalanche of snow forced administrators to cancel class tomorrow. in new jersey's largest city, a winter mess. the clean up there means plenty of work for some city employees a
