It was bad snooze for people buried under the blizzard in Whitestone, Queens, one of several outer-borough neighborhoods where sources said Sanitation bosses ordered slowdowns.

Instead of plowing the streets, this driver was caught snoozing Monday morning from 9:30 to at least 11 on 14th Avenue near 149th Street.

A Sanitation Department spokesman would not comment until he saw the pictures, and he did not answer questions about the agency’s sleeping-in-the-truck policy.
