Well, everybody probably home today.

It's a remote day for most people at work.

If you're a student in New York City, it's remote.

They use that, what they call that, Google Classroom.

The mayor says it should work. It's not a good thing. It just closed the schools for the day. But as he explained, they can't close for the day. We're going to exhaust every option to protect. No, no, that's not it. There's some kind of state law. Look, I remember as in New York City, public school students, sitting there watching TV, hoping to see my school's name when they take it off. It's going to be closed. The sad truth is you're governed by state law, which requires 180 days of instruction, and there's no room anymore in these calendars with all the new holidays that have been added for snow day. So Monday is either going to be remote yeah so that's the reason

there's a state law you can thank the legislature requiring 180 days so they can't close they have to

have a remote day which uh uh it's interesting at private schools i don't think are subject many of them

are just closed no remote day today so uh we slowly start to dig out. Actually, you got to give Mom Donnie credit. It was pretty good

the response, but again, he's got leftover from the Adams administration, the emergency

management people, the people that do all this response are left over. The emergency response director, emergency management head, is leaving in a week.

But his deputy will take over.

And he says, don't worry, his deputy is perfectly qualified and be very good at this.

So we'll see.

This will probably be the last big snowstorm.

I don't want to jinx it, but we usually get one of these a year.

And, you know, this one's actually not as bad as five years ago.

We had a big one.

It was like, this was 10 inches in the city.

We had a big one.

It was like 17 inches in the city.

But it was towards the end of the pandemic.
