'Snowboarding with the NYPD': YouTube filmmakers use NYC blizzard shutdown for viral video

Posted:

A pair of enterprising if law-bending filmmakers used the weekend blizzard that shut down New York City to produce a soon-to-be-viral video showing them skiing and snowboarding through Manhattan's near-empty streets — and right through Times Square.

The eastern United States emerged wearily from a massive blizzard that dumped huge amounts of snow and killed at least 24 people, but Washington was still reeling, with government offices and schools to remain closed Monday. The 26.8 inches (68 centimeters) of snow that fell in New York's Central Park was the second-highest accumulation since records began in 1869, and more than 22 inches paralyzed the capital Washington. Roads were reopened throughout the city, on Long Island and in New Jersey.

Trump would 'love' Bloomberg presidential run

Posted: 24 Jan 2016 08:32 AM PST

Republican presidential frontrunner Donald Trump on Sunday warmly welcomed a mooted run for the White House by Michael Bloomberg, saying he would "love" to go up against the fellow billionaire and former New York mayor. The New York Times, citing anonymous sources, said Saturday that the 73-year-old Bloomberg is mulling an independent bid for the presidency and is prepared to spend $1 billion of his personal fortune. The Republican-turned-independent sees a potential opening should Trump and Democratic candidate Bernie Sanders -- who is surging in polls -- win their parties' nominations, the sources said.
