Mamdani warns dangers of historic snowfall, pledges to get homeless out of the cold

Hizzoner confidently stated that he is ready for round two of the big snowstorm this winter but didn't mince words when it came to the severity of the snowfall expected to coat the Big Apple throughout Sunday and Monday. A blanket of between 18-24 inches has been forecast to fall across the city in all. If it comes to pass as is predicted, this will put this snowfall into the top 10 snowfall events in the history of New York City. That is what we are looking at, Mamdani warned. The bottom line is to stay home and stay safe.
