Definitive proof that New Yorkers’ weather resiliency wasn’t left behind sometime in the 1800s: despite lots of snow, slippery streets, and sub-zero windchill, over 3,000 Citi Bike trips have been taken in the less than 24 hours since snow started falling, NYC Bike Share marketing director Dani Simons tells ANIMAL.

Do not call this winter storm “Hercules.” It’s not the thing’s name–winter storms don’t have names–and besides, it’s a silly thing to call what was ultimately pretty minor event anyway. In a stroke of evil genius, The Weather Channel began giving its own names to winter storms in 2012. Gawker explained why this is bad last year, […]
All last night and throughout this morning, it snowed in New York City. As a result, snow accumulated. Some of that snow covered the streets. Some of it fell into subway stations. Some of it even amassed on top of a cab. This is what happens when it snows. (Photo: Bucky Turco/ANIMALNewYork) […]
New York City got hit with a lot of snow last night. And while it will surely inconvenience us–and provide Bill de Blasio with the first big challenge of his brand new mayoralty–it will be nothing like the quaint, Dickensian chaos New Yorkers faced a century and a half ago, before the days of SUVs […]

Did you hear? There’s snow coming. You’re fucked. But don’t panic! Here’s the process of how to survive this blizzard. -Panic. -Didn’t you see? There might be a substantial amount of snow. Panic. -Overlook the fact that New England’s way more fucked than you. In some parts of New Hampshire, you need to drive half […]
This is the second best monkey-related video on the internet. How’s your Monday going, by the way? Yeah? Yeah, I know. And there’s snow. Not the fun kind. So here is a seriously cute monkey because BECAUSE. His name is “Vanya.” He’s a Russian monkey. He hops around and shit. Look at him eating snow! LOOK! […]
Not much to say with this one: the good people of Thrash Lab (who previously made this gorgeous document of pumpkin carnage) went to Tahoe to show you the 10 most brutal ways to destroy a snowman. Naturally, everything is filmed in gorgeous slow motion, and with the eerily warm winter we’re having, all this […]
