Al Roker, Bill de Blasio smooth over their snow spat
TV weatherman Al Roker and New York City’s mayor made up Monday after a spat over snow and school closings.
Mayor Bill de Blasio and the meteorologist met cordially on camera on NBC’S “Today” show about two weeks after Roker lambasted de Blasio on Twitter for keeping schools open during a storm that left nearly 10 inches of snow; most other schools in the region were closed. Roker had suggested that the city’s “goofball policy” could endanger children.
On Monday, Roker said the two had chatted about snow and schools, “and we both want the best for the school kids and our city.” Both have children attending the city’s public schools.
