As the borough was buried under record-breaking snowfall, with many streets untouched by plows, frustrated residents tweeted out their block horror stories.
DNAinfo New York asked residents to share their photos with #PlowQueens. Many responded with pleas to the city to help clear their streets and sidewalks.
Here's the latest map of which streets have been plowed. How is your block looking? https://t.co/D8zgVkuf9P #blizzard2016 #PlowQueens

910 @NYCSanitation plows + hundreds of NYC employees, myself included, working tirelessly to get Queens up and running.
