Brooklyn, New York City, USA – Video filmed by X user Cyrus, a Persian-American entrepreneur, captures a lively snowball fight at McCarren Park during heavy winter conditions on January 25, 2026. The footage was recorded around 2:20 PM EST as snow blanketed the park.

The short clip shows dozens of people, including adults and children bundled in coats, hats, scarves, and gloves, engaging in an energetic snowball fight. Participants run across open snowy areas, dodge incoming throws, hide behind trees or snow piles, and launch volleys of snowballs in a chaotic, free-for-all scene.

Snow flies in every direction, bursting into white puffs on impact. People laugh, slip, and dive for cover as the park transforms into a playful winter battlefield. Groups form loose teams while others join the free-for-all fun individually.

The footage captures a spontaneous, feel-good moment during a significant Northeast snow event in late January 2026. Heavy snowfall across New York City allowed classic winter fun in urban spaces, with no injuries or major issues visible.
