In the final few days of his term as New York City mayor, Eric Adams surprised reporters with his comments about what New Yorkers should do during a snowstorm that hit the Tri-State area.
The outgoing mayor said Saturday was a “good baby-making day.”
“As my son would say, just do Netflix and chill,” he added.

More from the New York Post:
Adams then doubled down on the joke when host Pedro Rivera asked if New York would get a “baby boom” in the spring.
ADVERTISEMENT“We want to improve the population,” Hizzoner joked.
“But in all seriousness, really hats off to the Department of Sanitation, FDNY, and our other emergency response [teams] … Because we were expecting 11 inches and really we got about four inches and by 6 a.m., all of our streets had at least one pass from our plows. So, a really great job.”
Adams appeared on the morning show to caution New Yorkers and tourists alike about the icy conditions that are likely to accompany the overnight dumping, which has been paired with below-freezing temperatures.
Later in the evening, the Mayor responded to a New York Post report on his “baby-making” comments by quipping on X: “No lies detected.”
New Yorkers woke up Saturday morning to a roughly 4-inch blanket, a far cry from the nearly 11-inch pummeling city officials had warned was incoming.

Mediaite shared further:
Their fun banter came as NYC is being hit by a big storm that included 4.3 inches of snow falling in Central Park overnight — the most since early 2022, ABC 7 reported. Weather services and local weather reporters have also warned about black ice and slippery roads as part of the storm.
The storm is smacking several other cities along the East Coast as well — leading to 1,500 flights getting canceled. New York, as well as Rhode Island, Connecticut, New Jersey, eastern Pennsylvania and western Massachusetts are dealing with the storm.
Adams gave a shout out to the NYC snow plows during his ABC 7 interview, which he said have done a “great job” clearing the roads. He said New Yorkers and tourists need to keep an eye out for the slippery black ice, if they do brave the elements.
“Whenever you fall, you never forget it,” Adams said.
