New York City Mayor Eric Adams surprised reporters and viewers Saturday morning after offering unconventional advice to residents as a winter storm brought the city’s heaviest snowfall in years, as reported by The Gateway Pundit.
Adams made the remarks during an appearance on ABC 7 Eyewitness News This Saturday Morning, as snow continued to fall across the city.
According to city data, 4.3 inches of snow accumulated in Central Park, marking the heaviest snowfall New York City has seen since 2022.

While discussing the storm’s impact and the city’s response, Adams addressed residents who were staying indoors because of the weather.

“Stay home — this is a good baby-making day,” Adams said, prompting an audible reaction from the anchors.
Co-anchor Toni Yates responded with an “Ahhh!” while fellow anchor Pedro Rivera laughed and joked about a potential “baby boom” in May or June.
The exchange continued lightheartedly on air as Adams expanded on his comments.
“Enjoy the weather,” Adams said. “My son would say, just do ‘Netflix and chill.’ That’s all, and just enjoy the day.” He then added, “We wanna improve the population!”
“Stay home. This is a good baby making day,” Mayor Eric Adams said.

The mayor also used the appearance to praise the city’s handling of the storm. Adams highlighted the work of New York City’s sanitation department, noting that approximately 2,700 sanitation workers were deployed and working 12-hour shifts to clear streets and roadways throughout the five boroughs.
“They’ve been out there… doing a great job,” Adams said. He also cautioned residents about hazardous conditions, adding, “Whenever you fall, you never forget it.”
City officials warned residents to remain alert for black ice and slippery roads as temperatures fluctuated following the snowfall.
Emergency management officials urged drivers to limit travel where possible and advised pedestrians to use caution on untreated sidewalks.
The storm affected a wide swath of the East Coast beyond New York City. Heavy snow was reported in Rhode Island, Connecticut, New Jersey, eastern Pennsylvania, and western Massachusetts.
The severe weather also disrupted air travel nationwide, leading to more than 1,500 flight cancellations.
Adams’ remarks come as he prepares to leave office. His term as mayor is set to end on January 1, with democratic socialist Zohran Mamdani scheduled to take over as the city’s next mayor.
Despite the surprise generated by his comments, Adams continued to emphasize public safety and credited city workers for keeping major roadways passable during the storm.
No injuries or major accidents were immediately linked to the snowfall in the city, according to preliminary reports.
The interview quickly circulated on social media following the broadcast, drawing attention for the mayor’s off-script remarks during a serious weather event.

“4.3 inches of snow accumulated in Central Park, marking the heaviest snowfall New York City has seen since 2022″… In New England we call that a “Dusting”…
Yeah, in north/eastern Pa. too. 😁
Every single Power Generation and Transmission Company used to be Public Service Companies right up until they were all purchased by huge Multi-National Conglomerates and became Wholly-Owned Subsidiaries that are now obligated 1st and foremost to find more ways to siphon wealth from those in their service area and funnel it all to their new OWNERS . . . This is why their similarly owned news outlets and politicians are mercilessly bloviating on a repeating loop about how sever this storm’s going to be despite the fact that this storm is tuning out to be more than just a little bit ordinary and easily managed . . . This nauseating spectacle is nothing more than a psi-op designed to normalize their unwarranted price increases in the minds of the people that they have enslaved . . .
These huge Multi-National Conglomerates have created profit-profiles on every structure in their Wholly-Owned Subsidiaries service areas and are currently attaching their Self-Monitoring-and-Reporting-Technology meters onto as many of the structures as fast as they can because they can control said meters to better achieve their profit-potential goals . . .
