The city was eight days away Tuesday from setting the record for the longest snow drought in the Big Apple’s history.
“By this time of year, we’ve usually sold about 30 snow shovels. Most people buy bags and bags of salt ahead of time, so we always keep a lot in stock. Sometimes they’ll bring a hand truck to carry it all.”
“They’re usually flying off the rack in January, but the ones you see have just been hanging there. We’ve got more in the back, they’ve just been sitting there, too,” said a Home Depot worker. “Unless someone comes up with a use for snow shovels that doesn’t involve snow, they aren’t going anywhere.”
Snowfall totals surpassed 50 inches three times in the 2010s, but less than five inches were recorded in the 2019-20 winter, records showed. Douglas said he was glad the streets weren’t a mess, even though he found the lack of snow “unsettling.”
