Snowstorms have tripped up plenty of mayors before, but Mayor Bill de Blasio may be emerging from the weekend's blizzard largely unscathed. New Yorkers in parts of Queens are still dealing with snowy streets in desperate need of a plow, and they are not happy, as NY1's Grace Rauh reports.

"This is not your average storm," de Blasio said. "Point-two inches more and it would have been the greatest snow fall in the history of New York City in the last century and a half. We've got to get that through everyone's head.

The mayor never said he wished more snow had fallen on this city this past weekend. But he almost seemed to be wanting that, if only to say he presided over the biggest snowstorm in city history. And did so largely successfully by most accounts.

Much of the city got back to normal Monday. Schools were open. Subways running. Washington D.C., by contrast, was still at a standstill.

"No one is saying mission accomplished around here," the mayor said. "What we are saying is, a lot of good work has happened. You can get around this city by and large today."

But in parts of Queens there was little praise for the mayor.

"This is two days after the storm and it looks like it ended two minutes ago," said Queens City Councilman Eric Ulrich.

On Monday afternoon, many streets were still buried and looked as though they hadn't seen a plow at all.

"I want the mayor to come to this community and tell my constituents why the streets have not been plowed for two days and why there is three feet of snow preventing them from living their lives when the rest of New Yorkers are back on their feet," Ulrich said.

Another Councilman from Queens, a Democrat, said the city's online snow plow tracker map was inaccurate, indicating that roads had been plowed when they were still buried.

"Sometimes there's glitches, but by and large I think it's a very helpful tool," the mayor said.

The storm also proved to be a helpful tool in bringing together two frequent adversaries.

Despite the near record levels of snowfall there did appear to be a thawing in the relationship between the Mayor and Governor Cuomo.

"The governor, the state, the MTA, a lot of coordination," the mayor said. "I probably talked to the governor a half dozen times.

Perhaps some of the friction between the mayor and governor will melt away with the snow.
