This time, plows were too good!

Mayor Bloomberg’s merry band of plowmen made sure New York was the city that doesn’t sleep during yesterday’s overnight storm.

Despite pristine streets — by noon, every single road had seen a plow at least once — the grating sounds of snow plows scraping blacktop in the wee hours had people nearly as mad as when the streets were left abandoned in last month’s blizzard.

“It was crazy last night, man, like the Army was rolling into town or something,” said Malik Harris, 28, from Crown Heights. “I knew they were going to come strong on this one, but damn, it was nonstop for a few inches.”

The storm, which dumped an average of nine inches of snow across the city, was a big test for Bloomberg, whose administration botched the Christmas-weekend blizzard cleanup.

At one point, the city was in such good shape that Bloomberg commanded his plows to head for hard-hit Suffolk County.

“Our goal for this storm was not just to get back to business as usual,” Hizzoner said. “It was to deploy a more effective snow response operation than ever, more aggressive.”

Despite that — or perhaps because of it — some Big Apple residents were impossible to please.

“They plowed at 6 a.m. — they woke me up!” griped Henry Falcon, 26, a lawyer who lives in Midtown. “It was pretty noisy. The super said everyone on the front side of the building could hear them. At least three plows went by [in an hour]!”

Councilman David Greenfield, who represents sections of Midwood and Borough Park in Brooklyn, said constituents barraged him with complaints.

“They couldn’t sleep, plows came down their block so often,” Greenfield said.

Still, people around the city were relieved when they realized they wouldn’t be trapped, as in the blizzard.

In Bay Ridge, Brooklyn, waitress Ann Gaffney, 47, said, “Last time we had snow [on a Sunday and Monday], the block didn’t see a plow until Thursday. Now, we’re looking at blacktop. It was so screwed up the last time.”

Corona, Queens, resident Frank Barrios, 67, said during the last storm, “I left my car in the garage for five or six days.”

But “I used my car this morning. They did a very good job.”

Hundreds of domestic flights at the three main local airports were backlogged, and airlines were trying to reschedule fliers.

“I was only supposed to be here two days, and now I’m stuck at the airport until Saturday,” said Atlanta-bound Edward Bond, 43.
