"It snowed two weeks ago in New York. Since then, the temperature has barely risen above freezing a temperature science naturally dictates is necessary to melt snow and ice. But science isn't enough for some US political critics, however, who have instead blamed Zohran Mamdani, New York's new socialist mayor, for the snow not having melted and still clogging up some of the city's streets."
"Kelly Jane Torrance, the New York Post's editor-at-large, went on Sky News Australia on Thursday to double down on the criticism. It's just incredible how badly he has mismanaged his very first snowstorm, Torrance said. The snow is still here. A lot of it. It's we've got record cold temperatures really in the next day or so, she added. The mayor of New York has little power over the temperature of the city."
Winter Storm Fern dumped over a foot of snow on New York two weeks ago, leaving iceberg-sized piles that blocked roadways, bike lanes, sidewalks, and parking spots. Temperatures have barely risen above freezing since then, preventing natural melting. The New York Post and other critics blamed Mayor Zohran Mamdani for lingering snow and interviewed residents who complained about travel disruptions and falls. Kelly Jane Torrance defended the criticism on Sky News Australia, calling his handling incredible and suggesting risks to public order. The NYPD reported record low crime in January, and social media amplified criticism.
