Five or six inches of snow doesn’t usually cripple the city streets like it did Thursday evening. But as stories of four hour-long driving commutes emerged, New Yorkers wanted to know what went wrong.

NY1 was asking those questions of top city officials on "Mornings on 1" Friday – and there was a lot of finger pointing.

There was a lot of "It’s not our fault because it’s their fault." Or,  "It’s not my fault because this happened and then this happened."

City Councilman Justin Brannan tweeted what a lot of us were thinking. He tweeted “somebody dropped the ball. No way a few inches of snow should bring the city to its knees.”

So we start asking the questions – and we get a lot of the blame game.

Sanitation Commissioner Kathryn Garcia said the traffic tie up on the George Washington Bridge was so severe that plows couldn’t move around.

Garcia insists they did well at getting plows out in other parts of the city. We have a lot of reports to the contrary from people who are asking “where were the plows.”

Mayor Bill de Blasio owned up to the fact that snow clearing wasn’t up to the standard we expect. He said they got caught with a weather forecast that didn’t predict accumulating snow.

We asked the MTA why there were no chains on the buses. They said if the city had plowed the roads we wouldn’t have needed the chains.

And then there was the chaos at the Port Authority Bus Terminal.

The people showed up to go home but the buses did not. 

Port Authority Deputy Communication Director Steve Coleman said the big reason the buses couldn’t get in was the snarl on the George Washington Bridge which, for the record, is operated by the Port Authority.
