NYC Snowstorm Brings Sleet, Wind, and Safety Warnings (Full Transcript)

[00:00:00] Speaker 1: In an average January, New Yorkers see about eight inches of snow. Well, they saw that much this morning, almost. It's about seven, just over seven inches in Central Park. And out at LaGuardia, you couldn't see the Brooklyn Bridge as that snow was coming down at an inch an hour this morning. But now it's sort of mixing to sleet and the wind is really picking up. In his first press conference, major winter press conference, as new mayor Zoran Mamdani announced today that five New Yorkers were found dead outside before the snow had even begun and underlined the warming centers and the efforts to shelter the unhoused. They are so vulnerable. He also encouraged New Yorkers to get off the roads. There are 2,000 or so plows at the Department of Sanitation's availability, 700 salt spreaders. Salt doesn't really work as well when it's this cold, below 15 degrees Fahrenheit or so. But I saw a FedEx guy just making deliveries. So not everybody has the luxury of staying off the roads.
