While most NYC residents were inside, taking refuge from the city's first major blizzard of 2016, Casey Neistat, a 34-year-old YouTuber decided to go snowboarding through the streets of the Big Apple.

Neistat is a popular YouTuber and his account boasts nearly 2 million subscribers. You may remember Neistat from last year when he filmed his friend and collaboration partner, Jesse Wellens, as Aladdin traveling on a "magic carpet."
Neistat told BuzzFeed that he views New York City as a "character" in the video that he makes.
He says that he had no reservations while snowboarding on the icy terrain. However, there were a few difficulties encountered while filming.
And as far as getting around the traveling ban issued by Mayor Bill de Blasio, Neistat says they avoided it by driving "really carefully."
At the end of the video, Neistat and his crew are pulled over by a police officer. He told BuzzFeed that the officers "were great" and didn't make a big deal their stunt.
Now that's one way to take advantage of a snow day.
