[@miamidolphinsfan]

[@simeonjacksondavis4156]

Looks beautiful upstate NY Albany Area got hit hard as well this was our third snowstorm so far!

[@theresahoisington7938]

Oooh my Word!! 🤔

[@rebelfighter5249]

Reminds me of The Day After Tomorrow when that crazy arctic storm hit and froze everything in its path.

[@tracywilson1356]

I love how that garbage truck has a plow blade on it. Collect trash and help keep streets plowed. Genius.

[@skorpio1119]

Astoria Park /Hellsgate Bridge...Stunning !! ❤

[@captainmorgan757]

Nothing like a good snow storm!!

[@RIXRADvidz]

I Genuinely Wish You Could send ALL that Snow to Colorado. we're too dry, the fires will be even earlier and worse. Thank you for your time.

Without the traffic and people in the video. This city just doesn’t look right. The guy on the motor bike.. is a very brave soul.

[@martincleere4968]

Best wishes from Ireland all stay safe warm,

[@AmbienceSpeakers]

So beautiful 😍

[@ericburton4705]

I got the thermostat up 80 degrees watching this

[@RavensHater007]

Can't say I've ever seen a garbage truck with a snow plow in it... Interesting

It is, I had to have my son look at that, years ago when I saw that in person I thought I was seeing things, and my God did they make a big mess.

[@jimmybravo3916]

They do that in Wisconsin too, whenever there's a big snowstorm. More plows to clear the roads.

@@jimmybravo3916 I never noticed it over there, don't doubt it though, it sure turned into a mess when I saw it in New York City, they really had nowhere to push the snow, back in the day where I grew up they pushed the snow to the middle of the street and then used a big snowblower to blow it into trucks to haul it away, used to dump it next to rivers here, but not anymore.

[@mattmoschkau84]

Department of sanitation has the largest fleet of trucks in NYC. By using them as plows during winter weather saves the city millions by reducing the number of vehicles needed to service the city. They don’t have any other fleets of trucks this large that could serve multiple purposes.

[@dgracias12]

Something new I have seen on the New Jersey Turnpike is large cement trucks with plows! One of those single cab centered chassis. 😎

[@frankbutaric3565]

I lived in Astoria a long time ago. Don’t miss the snow

[@jaredtheboss]

facts...where u live now

[@byronchavarria4954]

I Knew It Was 25 To 40 Centimeters Of Snow

[@PremierCCGuyMMXVI]

I already got a foot of snow and we still have another several inches to go here in Woodbridge NJ. This will be our largest snow storm in 5 years.

[@181suydam]

Oh how I miss the snow! The shoveling my front sidewalk, digging out my car in below freezing temps, stepping off a curb onto the street and instead a pile pile of cold wet slush- NOT!!!!!!! Enjoy! and be safe!

[@thatweatherman4411]

How’s the staging well during the summer were we have another heat wave coming up after henrr

[@dwilson2548]

Wow I've never seen Queens look so beautiful so nice so white and pristine such a shame come this time tomorrow it'll look nothing like this And my favorite shop was the picture of the two Bridges thank you for posting hope you all stay safe and warm back there And a shout out I guess should go to the NYPD for it looks like they are serving and protecting not yelling shooting and killing

[@christopherveeser9679]

They love it😆

[@user-os5pr5ns9y]

I miss New York

[@stevebolo634]

It's another fine example of global warming. "Educate yourself about the difference between weather and climate". Blah blah blah says the climate alarmist.

[@PremierCCGuyMMXVI]

What do you mean? Just because it’s snowing dosent mean global warming isn’t occurring. Here in New Jersey, if you can take the average temperature for each day Jan 1 to Dec 31 and divide by 366 days. 2020 was our 2nd warmest year here in NJ. Being 55.5°F or 4.1°F above normal. Try learning how to calculate weather average. My state has warmed 3°F since 1895. So than why is it snowing? Well first off, it’s February, we normally get snow, even though it maybe snowing, this winter has been about 3-4°F above normal when you average it out. Yes significantly above normal, but still cold enough for snow. And secondly, as earth warms, so our oceans, and so that means some locations get more precipitation. Because warmer air holds more moisture, so that means we get more rain, and when it’s cold enough, snow. So snow will become less frequent on a warmer future, but when they do occur, they are much bigger. So no, this dosent mean global warming isn’t occurring. It just means it’s winter. Even if worse case global warming occurs by 2100, there will still be snow. I want you to link a peer review scientific study or a reliable article that says snow disproves GLOBAL warming that causes CLIMATE change.

@@PremierCCGuyMMXVI , Yep. You're a triggered climate alarmist.

[@PremierCCGuyMMXVI]

@@freedomforever6718 but you don’t explain yourself. In January and February, is it not supposed to be cold in the mid latitudes?

[@freedomforever6718]

@@PremierCCGuyMMXVI , Explain yourself. How can you deny that if it is still cold in winter like it always has been that this means that global warming is occurring? You swallow too much government propaganda. The Leftist political activists masquerading as climate scientists at NOAA and NASA are cherry picking *and* altering the historical data. And if you think that government bureaucrats don't lie you are asleep 24/7.

[@liondecka9062]

Yep, it is. Dont care about the non educated people. They wont understand 🤣 Its getting worse and worse... global
