Overview
- In a live ABC7 interview, Eric Adams told New Yorkers to stay home because it was a “good baby-making day,” adding his son would say to “just do Netflix and chill.”
- He quipped about a potential baby boom and said, “We want to improve the population,” drawing laughter from anchors Toni Yates and Pedro Rivera.
- The storm dropped roughly 4 inches citywide, with 4.6 inches recorded in Howard Beach, Queens, marking the biggest New York City snowfall since early 2022, according to the National Weather Service.
- Adams praised the response, citing about 2,700 sanitation workers on 12-hour shifts, saying all streets had at least one plow pass by 6 a.m. and that roads should be largely clear by around 9–10 p.m.
- Regional effects included roughly 1,500 flight cancellations, and Adams, who leaves office on January 1 when Zohran Mamdani is sworn in, later echoed the joke on social media by writing “no lies detected,” according to reports.
