NYC has melted 23 million pounds of snow so far, mayor says
Mayor Mamdani said that so far New York City has melted 23 million pounds of snow and used 116 million pounds of salt.
"Across all five boroughs, we've melted 23 million pounds of snow using eight snow-melting sites. Every 12-hour shift, 2,500 sanitation workers are out there clearing bus stops, crosswalks, hydrants, and other critical infrastructure," Mamdani said. "These are tough conditions, and these workers are doing essential work to keep this city moving."
The city is continuing to expand its snow response, but also asking people to call 311 to help homeless in the cold and reminding property owners to clear their sidewalks.
