It's become a regular struggle for New Yorkers after every big snowstorm: navigating the giant slush puddles that pool at the street corners after the snow melts.
There are the fearless striders who simply mow through in their hardy footwear; the analytical steppers who calculate their ways around the slush; and then there are the risk-taking leapers who jete over into either a graceful landing or soggy stomp.
Take a look at some of the impressive slush jumps we've seen after this storm and from years past. Have a video or photo of your own? Tag it #NBC4NY with a location and we may feature it here and on air.

Following the Feb. 9 snowstorm, traffic at LaGuardia was so bad that some people felt compelled to jump fences between the GCP and the airport to get to the terminals.
The Grand Central Parkway in Queens was gridlocked on Feb. 10, 2017, the day after a snowstorm paralyzed local airports. Delays stretched for miles and some people even abandoned their rides and walked.
