The record-breaking blizzard, the first one to hit the New York City area in a decade, brought the entire northeast of the United States to a halt on Monday. Central Park recorded 19.7 inches of snow as of Monday afternoon, marking its ninth-biggest snowfall in recorded history.
Police Commissioner Jessica Tisch said officers had been attacked at Washington Square Park. Mayor Zohran Mamdani said the episode looked like a snowball fight, not a crime.
