They didn't take this chance to criticize global warming?

Snow is woke
OMG, the right wingers were right. Once Mamdani was elected, the city got filled with snowflakes!
smh
How DARE Zohran Mamdani NOT control the Weather!
-People who KNOW that Trump has NOTHING to do With this whole Epstein Debacle!
And you absolutely know that if the snow did melt, conservatives would be blaming him for not making the snow stay.
LITERALLY in-group/out-group behavior
How cute. It's almost like we're back in the Obama era when the most inconsequential of things make a Democratic leader weak in conservative media. It's really jarring when Mamdani's news is juxtaposed with Trump's ICE bullshit, involvement in the Epstein files, threatening other countries with annexation, ruining the economy, etc.
Ashton Kutchner hates freedom, and is integral to bringing the trojan horse of ai threat detection in to survel everything everyone does or says online.
Family Guy had a good take on Ashton, a better tv show for him...
So many pieces of shit on that show, like Kutchner and rapey Masterson
I can't really speak for NYC, because I don't live there anymore. I'm in Albany, NY, 150 mi north, and it's been hovering around -15 to -20 centigrade. (Water freezes at 0 centigrade.) A quick weather search shows it's been hovering at/below freezing down there. Snow doesn't melt when it's this cold out. I don't know where the fuck the post thinks the snow is going to go.
They don't care about the snow. They care about getting people mad at their enemy. The post, and conservatives more generally, are bad,. dishonest, people.
They know what they’re saying is stupid. They are trying to build anger and when there is nothing material to twist, they have to invent something. Eventually they will build an entire alternate universe mythology around Mamdani, just as they do with all their enemies.
How stupid can people be? Don't they know it's the Jews that control the weather?
Sucks the streets are slushy. Maybe take i dk the metro?
Are you trying to question my sacred right to drive anywhere in my ludicrously oversized emotional support vehicle?
politicians and oligarchs raping children and eating babies while giving away state secrets and money to Israeli and Russian spies
Establishment politicians: …We should just move on.
The snow isn’t melting and it’s inconvenient
Also Establishment politicians: blame socialism with every billionaire backed news organization and launch several expensive sensationalist investigations
Canadian here. "Barely risen above freezing" means it's above freezing. That means it's warm. Are right wing pundits just a bunch of wussies?
They’re narrative opportunists. They seek out ways to dilute the information sphere, because that weakens the effectiveness of any productive conversation overall.
- Did cigarettes give you cancer, or could it have been asbestos from an old house?
- Did greenhouse gases cause global warming, or is it cold outside right now and that means everyone except you is an idiot?
- Are we setting up a surveillance state, or do we just want infrastructure to help you find your lost dog one day?
- …
Truth becomes arbitrary, opinionated, prone to interpretation… how can society continue to operate when they can’t agree on anything? When the ball isn’t in the court of institutional knowledge, it’s free of the taking by whoever wants to construct narrative in their favor.

Is it possible, being as how snow removal is the city's responsibility, they're actually complaining about that? If snow removal isn't done in a timely manner, slush does indeed form and just moves around, not melting much.
Quickly reading the article suggests that's the actual complaint.
I like the Guardian and Mamdani but come on here. Let's focus on whether or not that complaint is accurate, and whether he's had any chance to impact the city's snow removal plans, which are generally done well in advance by someone other than the mayor.
Former NYC resident here. Growing up, NYC rarely got snow like the storm we just had the last week of January. Like maybe it happens Once every 2-5 years. On top of that, the city tends to warm up quickly because of the jet stream and being on the coast, so the snow tends to melt faster. (Specific heat of water keeps the temps there above freezing.) It's been freakishly cold in the city, well below the freezing point of water, for an extended period of time, so it's not melting as fast. It just gets pushed around. Also, the mayor took office 1 month ago. Like give the guy a break.
Thank you! Same thing happened in the South after the freak storm in January, we had snow/ice for like 10 days which is hugely abnormal, no snow removal was done, streets became sheets of ice. Mail delivery stopped for a week. Everything did. Schools shut down over a week. I worked from home for a week. Number of people blaming the mayor? 0
Aren’t these the same people who believe in a rodent to tell them how long winter is?
Clearly Trump is punishing another blue city by withholding the aid of his weather Sharpie
Aren't they against cloud seeding?
They're against anything that it's currently convenient for them to pretend to be against for the sake of Dear Leader et al.
If they are going to blame Mamdani, they should know that ultimately it will be Trump's fault. And also God's.
The man solves global warming in three months and suddenly he's the bad guy.
