@newyorkers Column 🤪

It's been a wild, snowy week in NYC; here’s some of our favorite moments that happened.

February 2026 Blizzard:

• NYC got hit with 20 inches of snow this weekend - the 9th largest snowstorm in city history

• Mayor Mamdani gave us some snowstorm advice before the blizzard

• Micheal Che of SNL gave NYC bodegas the respect they deserve

• This video of a good samaritan helping an elderly woman cross the street during the storm is everything

• We pulled up to the massive snowball fight in Washington Square Park

• With all this recent snow, we asked NYers what they're most looking forward to when Spring comes

• Shoutout to Sanitation for cleaning up the blizzard so quickly and efficiently

• Former Mayor Eric Adams had some interesting advice to give to NYers during the blizzard

• No shovel? A frying pan is a good tool to remove snow

• This food cart tipped over during the storm; luckily, a group of NYers was there to help push it back up

• It's a real struggle to drive across the Queensboro Bridge in heavy snow

• Someone really built a full apartment in an igloo after the storm
  
  Weekly Recap:

• We asked Harlem residents about they're experience seeing the neighborhood change over the years

• Gary Vee gave us his opinions on the Jets and NY sports as a whole

• The red microphone took a visit to Los Angeles to try and find some ex-NYers

• Mayor Mamdani met with President Trump yesterday to discuss housing issues; it's their second meeting since Mamdani took office

• Update from the new subway gates on 125th street

• Bay Plaza Mall now has security at the entrances after last week’s takeover

• These were the highest and lowest rated subway lines

• The viral Subway lip-sync lady gathered quite the audience last week
