NY Gov. Kathy Hochul Posts a Video With Her Pro Tips on Shoveling Snow

The whole country has essentially been hit with a snowstorm, resulting in a lot of closings and a lot of sore backs as people shovel the snow off their walkways and driveways. They could spare themselves those backaches if they just watched and followed the example posted by Buffalo girl Gov. Kathy Hochul. Being from Buffalo, she has a lot of experience with snow and wanted to share her pro tips for shoveling it.

She posted this video on Monday afternoon, two days after choosing to politicize the snowstorm, in which three people have reportedly died in New York. Here she is on Saturday:

Secretary Noem offered assistance to New York ahead of the impending snowstorm.⁰⁰I shared that the fastest way to help is for ICE to back off so people feel safe accessing warming centers, shelters, hospitals, and houses of worship.

And here she is on Monday. Quite the tonal shift.

Easy does it!

Take it from a governor from Buffalo, there’s a right way to shovel out from the storm. pic.twitter.com/sAzqi9USma

You make doing everything hard.

The idea that people need Kathy Hochul to teach them how to shovel is basically everything that's wrong with the Democratic Party as it's currently constituted. https://t.co/qnpMv4Cspa

I like that she is shoveling a driveway that was plowed 15 minutes ago

What poor intern had to stand outside in the cold and shoot multiple takes of this?

I have a snow shoveling system specific to my own driveway that I have honed over two decades. My system is a work of art that cannot be improved upon, with features that vary depending on depth and weight. It irritates me when people help, because they only disrupt the system.

I had been using my shovel upside down until I saw Kathy’s tutorial. Grateful for Kathy’s hands on approach to leadership and shoveling

She is an expert at shoveling but it ain't snow

I hope when I grow up I can be certain of my unique greatness like you are.

She's from Buffalo. Of course, she feels superior.

A brand new shovel as a prop to teach warm climate illegals on how to deal with the first snow that many have ever seen.

She must be speaking to the illegal aliens that have never shoveled snow. Those are her voters.
