Snow Much Scrutiny: Mamdani, Hochul—Even Ted Cruz—Dug Into Shoveling Drama New York’s biggest winter storm in years proved once again that on the internet, everyone’s an expert.

Hochul’s Snow Shoveling Tips Spark Laughs — And A Serious Reminder: 'You Don't Want That!' As New Yorkers began to dig out from the biggest winter storm in years, Gov.
