Snow emergency plan? Now we can breathe easier

Troy, NY - Dec. 11, 2014

The City of Troy has mailed out flyers to city residents announcing the Rosamilia administration's snow emergency plan. I just received mine the other day.

I suppose that's a good thing. Winter doesn't officially arrive until this Sunday.

Never mind that we've already had several heavy snowfalls that required lots of plowing, salting and scraping, and many city streets were mired in slush, backed-up traffic and the usual accoutrements of the season.

Better late than never, one must suppose. Why would we expect the government of a municipality located in Upstate New York to foresee winter coming around every year?
