Snow? WTF? That's outside Folk Implosion's E.Z.L.A. list of plagues:

Did the money cut the city in pieces
Take the water from wherever it flows
Feel the ground, it's always moving
Down a mountain through a valley
Watch it all collide
Hear the other ocean churning
Helicopters up above
While another canyons burning
Rain could wash the hill away

That they send Metro here in exchange.

They showed the live view of the snow outside during the Bruins game Wednesday night. Was a bit surprising.

Altitude matters.

They would have a lot more of it if they had higher humdity.

That's nice, who's paying the freight on that.

Yes, not to mention how long would it take to get them there (snow will probably be melted by then), who will operate them, and what happens if we get hit by a big snow storm in the mean time.

It has become an habit for this mayor to come up with grand promises, but having no idea on what it will take to implement them. I call this Walshism. Vision Zero? Carbon neutral by 2050? I am all for it. But what are we actually doing to get there? Where is the funding? It will take more to accomplish those goals than installing two dozen digital speed billboards throughout the City (many of them already broken) and implementing a plastic bag ban.

But thank you. It never occurred to anyone else that the premise is ridiculous. Your value cannot be understated.

Section77, thank you for letting me know that it was a joke. It genuinely didn't occur to me. Sending snow plows to California actually seems more realistic to me than, say, significantly improving street safety or carbon emissions under the current city policies.

Question: How can I tell when a Walsh announcement or policy plan is a joke and when it's not? I need help in calibrating my instruments :)

And who can have one of those with so much injustice in the world?

Who is basically demanding that we charter a C130 to fly snowplows to LA.

Or you could develop a sense of humor. You choose.

I've had that damn song stuck in my head for two days now.
