NEW YORK (WABC) -- The winter storm of January 2026 that once covered 2,000 miles across the nation has pulled away, leaving NYC and the Tri-State area to dig out from the biggest snowfall in years.

The weather underscored how vulnerable people are when they do not have a safe place to shelter. At least eight people have died, including several who had a history with the city’s shelter system.

The city requires a four-foot-wide path and set deadlines ranging from four hours to the next morning based on when precipitation ends.

Mayor Zohran Mamdani participated in snow removal efforts, gaining praise online.

The city got about nine inches of snow and at least one person died from exposure to the cold as Mayor Zohran Mamdani faced his first big test in nuts-and-bolts governing.

New York Gov. Kathy Hochul will be giving an update on the massive snowstorm Sunday at 11 a.m.
