I keep trying to find a good article to get this basic fact out but haven't found one, so shall write it myself.
Last week Mohammet was at Davos partying it up, safely away from the prying eyes of the press, while Atlanta was left without the transformational, historic mayor's great "leadership" coming up to the freeze that left the city crippled and in danger.
Who else was at Davos? Well, none other than former Vice President Albert Gore, making more dough out of the global warming hoax. Wonder if Mohammet attended Gore's speech?
Oh, and in case you're worrying, Mohammet is now in favor of gay marriage. Whew. Those of you who had little kids freezing in a school bus along Hwy 85…breath a sigh of relief.
Haven't even seen this on Breitbart. If anyone else has seen a news report, please let me know.
I applaud you for reporting on the mayor, and Davos, and on Atlanta's misery, all subjects ignored by the "Legacy Media."
We are too often undone, waiting for someone "older and wiser" to stand and "make the motion." Suddenly, someone makes their own motion, to adjourn, which is always in order, and before we can boil asparagus, their motion is seconded, the gavel comes down, and the "deliberative assembly" is over.
That's a measure of how bad things have gotten. They're "looking to us for advice."
Any population that needs leadership to cope with 2 1/2 inches of snow deserves the misery it inflicts upon itself.
If there was no salt on a Mass road, 2 1/2 inches would stop you, too.
Muhammad Kasim Reed happens to be a Christian. And he’s been a pretty good mayor, especially when you consider the corruption of his last six predecessors.
Not really, The sand and salt rarely is placed before several inches of snow around here. We also have reduced salt zones to be nice to the environment. I also note that driving in snow here has greatly improved in the last thirty years. I don't know if improvements in tire or road paving technology or both are the reason. The snow is just not as slippery as before.
After reading his bio, I hope he does well.
The mountains of north georgia and North Carolina have *some* townships where bridges and curves are salted. The salt gets all over my car, and the salt sticks around for a few days. Mayor Mohammet was schmoozing in Davos when he should have been directing trucks full of salt (he’d bought some, just couldn’t be bothered to deploy them). Maybe you in the blue NE just can’t stand not to be the center if nat’l attn.
The other politically corrupt decision was to bring the kids to school with the idea is sending them home when the snow started. You see, if the kids come for just a few hours the teacher doesn’t have to work a snow day Iin The summer.
The last time we had snow in the NE where people were not able to drive home was in the Blizzard of '78. We got two and one half feet of snow in about a half day. Whining over two and one half inches tells me this end of America is near as we once knew it.
Ice Storm of 1998? Of course, that was only 2 1/2 inches...of ice. That probably didn't effect BOSTON, but last time I checked Maine, Vermont and Red Hampshire were part of the NE.
Post #29 was about snow,not ice.

The problem in the south was ICE that formed as the result of a 2 1/2 inch snowfall. Southern people aren’t used to it. Of course, I remember the absolute hysteria that erupted when an ‘F1’ “tornado” skipped across central MA a while back. You would have thought it was Tuscaloosa redux. Of course, Red Englanders aren’t used to tornadoes.
I remember details of the day that the Worcester Tornado struck in the 50s.
Scary stuff !
.
I said snow, not ice. Do you have trouble with 2 1/2 inches of snow like the guy in Georgia?
I was struggling with this today. I read about this nasty interview he had with Commie News Network today, in Atlanta. I thought he was in Davos?
Just incompetent, disconnected. An Obamacare-bear.
Ack—lol—will teach me to post with a phone. No brides were salted, nor bridges either...
