Mayor Stothert: This is Omaha, not Atlanta. 1″ of Snow Shouldn’t Paralyze the City

It happened once again.

A seemingly innocuous snowfall under two inches once again brought the city of Omaha to a crawl Friday morning.  20 minute commutes turned into two hour ordeals.  And it’s not like today was just bad luck; it’s happened multiple times over the last few years.

Around here, Nebraskans used to joke how just a little bit of snow would bring a southern city like Atlanta to it’s knees.  We’d always say that we knew how to deal with snow; we’re used to it.  We’re prepared for it.

But not anymore.  Or at least, the city of Omaha isn’t. 

It didn’t use to be this way…but it is now.  After this keeps happening over and over and over again, Mayor Stothert’s excuses that since the snow hit at rush hour, there was nothing the city could do.
