NEW YORK [AP] — Dozens of passengers spent the night huddled in subway cars after the snowstorm that blanketed the northeast stranded their train in Brooklyn’s Coney Island station.
Yet another snowstorm hit the Northeast from Wednesday through early Thursday.
The storm came in two rounds, an initial burst on Wednesday morning and then a heavier round late Wednesday through early Thursday. Unlike previous storms this season, heavy snow also fell in Washington, D.C., and Baltimore in addition to Philadelphia, New York City and southern New England.
A crooked city data entry clerk — who took thousands of dollars cash to “fix” overdue parking tickets, then just pocketed the money without paying anything off — is going to jail for a year.

This Thursday, 22 Shevat, marks the passing of Rebbetzin Chaya Mushka Schneerson (1901-1988) of righteous memory, wife of the Lubavitcher Rebbe. The Avner institute is pleased to present two charming encounters related by Rabbi Shmuel Lew, Headmaster of the Lubavitch Senior Girls School, London, U.K., whose family over the years had warm relations with the Rebbetzin.
With major airports, schools and businesses all closed due to the third major snow storm of the season, hundreds of shluchos boldly packed buses on the main thoroughfare of Eastern Parkway Thursday morning to take them to the Rebbe’s Ohel.

Bnos Menachem’s Chof Beis Shevat program went on despite the snowstorm with an incredible turnout. Bnos Menachem students and teachers braved the 19 inches of snow to commemorate the Yahrzeit of Rebbetzin Chaya Mushka with tremendous achdus and palpable spirit.
Despite the heavy snow that covered the streets of Crown Heights, some 200 girls trudged through the snow and gathered at the Rebbe and Rebbetzin’s home at 1304 President Street.
It isn’t the amount that makes a storm so bad, but that certainly helps. Crown Heights woke up this morning to well over 12 inches of snow, but this snow is physically heavy which makes it difficult to walk, shovel, plow and drive in.
At this hour children in United Lubavitcher Yeshiva on Crown Street are finnishing up Shacharis, and are about to start a regular day of learning. Despite the storm classes were mostly full this morning.
One of the inspiring speakers at 1993’s Kinus Hashluchos was Mrs. Esty Cohen (Rubin) OBM, a young Shlucha from Albany who would later build a family and a community in Manchester, England.
