Remember Bilandic:

Michael Bilandic was the mayor of Chicago in 1978-79 who famously failed to clear the snow from the Windy City's streets in the bitter winter of 1978-79. He lost his job the next November to Jane Byrne, who ran on a snow-plow ticket promising to clear the streets the next time it snowed.

If you noticed . . . Chicago's Mayor Richard M. Daley [is] everywhere on the tube, personally directing the battle of the snow plows on the streets of Chicago, often from atop a city snow plow himself. He learned.


I lived in chicago for 20 some years.
The moment it started to snow, the plows were out plowing
(If a big storm was predicted, they'd be out plowing before it even started snowing!)
Maybe it's time to move back to chicago.
