The Day: Community Board Apps and an LICH Endorsement

Good morning, Fort Greene and Clinton Hill.

We made it through another snowstorm yesterday, but don’t get comfortable – we’ve got an addition round of winter precipitation coming tonight and tomorrow, according to the National Weather Service. We saw a few photos of the snow, but we’re sure more of you have some memorable shots. Share them with the community in The Nabe’s Flickr pool.

Here’s more news to start your morning:
