Yes, in case you’ve been in a cave, there’s been a blizzard in NYC and it dumped the second biggest snowfall –27 inches, on Manhattan and the surrounding burroughs. Artist and videographer Casey Neistat has done tons of stunts, including snow boarding all around the planet. He decided to take advantage of the perfect conditions, no traffic and amazing visuals you get swooshing though NYC, all to the tune of Sinatra’s New York, New York. ’nuff said. Watch.

SNL WILL BROADCAST LIVE TONIGHT, BUT WILL THERE BE AN AUDIENCE?
You WOULD know, the night I have tickets to SNL, there’s an epic snow storm!? (If you think I’m kidding the National Weather Service just upped the forecast to 24-30 inches!) Mayor deBlasio is telling everyone to stay home and off the roads and the Governor declared a state of emergency, and the shows are Broadway are dark tonight but none of these things will stop Saturday Night Live from airing live tonight. According to a spokesperson from SNL, the show will go on.
Ronda Rousey is hosting and Selena Gomez is doing 3 songs. Cast members Aidy Bryantand Leslie Jones shared pics on Twitter this morning. Leslie Jones said,
“How the fuck am I gonna make it to work!? Geeeeeeeeze New York!”
Gurl, what do they say? The show must go on! But what about an audience? With travel bans, and even some transit being shut down as the snow continues to fall, will they be able to fill the seats in studio 8H? I don’t care, I got my tickets and I’m going if I have to walk.

40 SNOWY NYC WINTER STORM SNAPS FROM MY INSTAGRAM FEED
I drove in from my upstate place in the Catskill Mountains to the West Village of Manhattan yesterday just in time for the snow to start falling. I checked out the view from my front door a few times and then went to bed and awoke this AM to a REAL winter blizzard. They weren’t kidding! The view out my door and on Instagram tells me we’ve gotten about 6-7 inches, so far and it’s supposed to snow for another day! I have tickets to the live broadcast of SNL with Ronda Rousey and Selena Gomez tonight, so it should be fun getting uptown. Here are some of my Instagram pals pics. Jeffrey Slonim gave us a peek at Madonna‘s mega-mansion on the UES from his front stoop, NPH gives us his view in Harlem & SJP – who lives a few blocks away– shows snow piling up in her backyard. Closed galleries and museums gave us views of their gardens and snow art as a consolation and my friends, the sister design duo of Porter & Hollister Hovey, had to cancel their design show house they’ve worked so hard on. (Speaking of hardon, Wowlebrity Linda Simpson is apparently warm indoors with that shirtless, sexy TV jogger!) Fashion maven Derek Blasberg shows us evidence that a blizzard is not excuse NOT to wear stylin’ footwear. Lots of dogs in the white from all over like photographer Pamela Hanson & artist Jo Shane and where I came from in the Catskills, the cute Itty Bitty Griff and buddy sit in cute coats waiting for the flakes to fall. Let in snow! Stay warm, kids!
