The record-breaking blizzard that slammed New York City has transformed Brooklyn into a sledder's paradise, blanketing the borough in deep snow just in time to take over your favorite hills. Home to more designated sledding spots than anywhere else in the city, Brooklyn is now fully coated after the massive storm dropped well over half a foot of snow, turning parks and playgrounds into steep, powdery runs.

Why it matters

With classes back in session, the snow should remain on the ground through the end of the week, providing ample opportunities for residents to enjoy some of the city's best sledding spots in Brooklyn.

The details

The National Weather Service reported that parts of Brooklyn were pummeled with roughly 22.5 inches of snow, rivaling totals in some of New York City's snowiest neighborhoods during the massive blizzard. In Queens, snowfall at LaGuardia Airport and JFK Airport reached similar levels, grounding hundreds of flights as the powerful winter storm swept through the city.
