Don't bring Snowbird into this, Bruce. Research I am completely fabricating shows he is Nashville's most beloved figure.

We can't clear the streets and sidewalks. All the Public Works budget was slashed to pay for the MCC. Duh.
Get your priorities straight, Bruce. MCC v. safe streets for taxpayers. Don't be so selfish.
@JR He's also the reason I was getting my weather news from Channel 5 at 10pm Wednesday. Leno closed his sad little show by proclaiming, "Your local news is next!" But it wasn't. An ad was next. Then a promo for WTVF's iPhone app. Then another ad. By which time I had given up and gone to Channel 5 where they were actually doing the weather forecast that I wanted. A few minutes later I switched back to WTVF just to see. Yep. Freakin' Snowbird.
Then I moved on to my regular source of news: The Daily Show.
I would just like to say for the record that the "blame Snowbird" tag was added by an editor; not my doing. Personally, I don't blame Snowbird; I honor Snowbird for his (it's a him, right?) integrity and single-minded devotion to keeping Nashville's fierce winter weather both safe and fun for generations of children of all ages. Also I've seem him go tequila shot-for-shot with all comers. That bird can really hold his juice.
Snowbird is definitely a he-bird. Not only can he "hold his juice," he gets plenty of juice, ifyaknowwhatimsayin
Just for the record, anyone visiting for a convention would have seen clear roads. The freeways are clear and most importantly, all the downtown streets are thoroughly salted and clear. And of course we know that downtown is all that matters. Right?
Catherine McTameney and Darden Copeland think it's really slick to steal my blog handle and Mike Byrd's blog handle.
Touche.
Did you say the sidewalks are hazardous? Nashville has sidewalks? In particular, that would be difficult to tell if you drive on Harding Place between Nolensville Rd. and up near the police station, where success is measured by the number of roadside-walking pedestrians you manage to avoid hitting.
