THE RIDGEWOOD NEWS
Following a snowstorm that lasted from Feb. 4 to 5, longtime resident Sal Falciglia saw a car stuck in the snow in downtown Ridgewood on Feb. 6, and couldn’t take it anymore.
“Our road department in Ridgewood is the worst road department in the world,” he said.
The plowing on Rock Road in Glen Rock was much closer to the curb than plowing he had seen in Ridgewood, he said, and “all my neighbors are sick and tired of it.”
Maureen Wolfson, who has lived in the village for 30 years, called this “the worst year ever” for snow removal. She “almost broke [her] neck” trying to put money in a parking meter at the train station, where the sidewalks were poorly shoveled, she said.

Call this a lot of snow? I recall a total of 48 inches piled up at the front door !!!
Hibernated for days and days.
1 I UNDER STAND THE SLAT PROBLEM THIS YEAR IT’S NOT THE VILLAGE’S FAULT.
2 REMOVING THE SNOW AROUND THE MEETERS MUST BE DONE AT NIGHT TIME, NOT WHEN I’M OPENING MY STORE.
3 I KNOW MY TREE IS UNDER THE SNOW.
4 MOVE THE DAM CARS IN THE PARKING LOTS BEHIND MY STORE (AKA) BUS LOT AND HUDSON LOT SO THE SNOW REMOVING CREW CAN CLEAN IT UP AND MY CUSTOMERS CAN PARK.
5 WHY AND WHO STOPED THE CREW LAST WEEK WHEN THEY WERE ALLMOST DONE WITH THE DOWN TOWN SEC OF THE VILLAGE.
I love snow, in the end it will all melt. then we all will find something else to cry and bitch about. in march all the snow melts, in april it’s raining, in june I need to cut the grass, in july it’s hot, in aug the bug’s, in sept school starts, in oct the leaves fall,in nov oh no the holidays are coming, in dec jan feb snow ice cold, what can i tell you. thats life. you don’t like it move .
I intend to #3, that’s 100% certain.
There is a better life out there than to spend 5 months a year shuttered in against the weather.
I’ve lived it, and it’s wonderful. Enjoy your delusions.
who the hell is sal farciglia , never herd of him.
