I was complaining to my council member last night about Minneapolis's snow emergency policies. "St. Paul declared a snow emergency already, why hasn't Minneapolis? That's the problem, it takes Minneapolis too long to declare the snow emergency." We recalled Lisa McDonald's complaint during the campaign, "How can they call it a snow emergency if it takes three days."
Well, I take it back about St. Paul snow emergencies. Although St. Paul declared one a day before Minneapolis, the streets in Mpls I take were much cleaner and safer than the ones in St. Paul. I take Hiawatha and Lake in Minneapolis. Lake becomes Marshall in St. Paul, and it was much snowier, as were Fairview, Minnehaha, and Snelling, all major routes in St. Paul. So, I would advise the new mayor and council, "Don't copy St. Paul when revising the snow emergency rules."
