Here's When LI's Air Will Improve And How To Check Your Town's Forecast Long Islanders dealt with another day of nasty air quality due to Canadian wildfires on Thursday, July 16.

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. NYC Mayor Zohran Mamdani helped Brooklyn residents dig out from this weekend’s massive winter storm, but he quickly drew online fire, not for his politics but for his technique.

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. Kathy Hochul reminded residents to shovel smart and don’t overdo it.

No strain on the back from doing that,” she explained while showing proper form. When snow gets heavier, Hochul advised breaking it into smaller sections rather than lifting large loads. “Don’t do a bi…
