Obv...Snow day? What's a "snow day"? <br /><br />Obviously, I kid. It's just that in Nebraska, snow day is a bit of a misnomer. If we were accurate, we'd call them car crash days, because the roads never close for snow or even ice. They only close once too many cars are piled up in the streets. tryanmaxhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/09881154741574720094noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6251675227852122352.post-83501207312050925142016-01-26T14:53:16.827-05:002016-01-26T14:53:16.827-05:00Andrew - Oh, that's a long running feud with M...Andrew - Oh, that's a long running feud with Mayors. Bloomberg Admin would famously ignore the other boroughs. Why not? He lives on the Upper East Side and the official Mayoral residence (Gracie Mansion) is also there.<br /><br />The Blas promised to change all that because he was a Brooklyn borough dweller. His first big snow event, he made good his promise and left the Upper East Side untouched while the boroughs got the royal treatment.<br /><br />Ah, but here is where it gets fun. During the summer of his first year, the De Blasios ended up moving on up to the East Side into Gracie Mansion...now guess where gets the royal treatment again...BevfromNYChttps://www.blogger.com/profile/14953050916932306270noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6251675227852122352.post-78720294027860360562016-01-26T14:34:04.253-05:002016-01-26T14:34:04.253-05:00Bev, I hear that a couple of your boroughs are com...Bev, I hear that a couple of your boroughs are complaining that they didn't get their snow cleared like Manhattan did.
