Murdoch tabloid leads charge as big freeze persists – could the mayor please do something about the weather?

It snowed two weeks ago in New York. Since then, the temperature has barely risen above freezing – a temperature science naturally dictates is necessary to melt snow and ice.

But science isn’t enough for some US political critics, however, who have instead blamed Zohran Mamdani, New York’s new socialist mayor, for the snow not having melted and still clogging up some of the city’s streets.

The New York Post, the rightwing tabloid and a frequent Mamdani critic, has led the charge. This week the newspaper claimed that “slushy streets” were “ruining travel for everyone”.

      Just those types who find anything to complain about, and well if this is accurate really anything to complain about.

      Like it should be icey and frozen out there it’s Feburary. To be fair I’m from Canada but noticed even our area has less cold snaps and snow than it used to. Regardless I’m pretty sure the evil human isn’t personally making the local weather system worse. Well unless it’s Cobra with the weather dominator (dunno if that’s a thing I just watch a lot of Robot Chicken).
