Why make any big investments in plows and other equipment when we had no measurable snow last year nor I think the year before? Last night we got a nice coating of snow and my street was already totally clear today by noon, with no effort from the town. We only get snow here that won’t be fully melted from the streets within 2 days (other than some very shaded areas) maybe once or twice a decade.
Not only that, we don’t get “snow storms” we get freezing rain, sleet, and constantly changing temperatures due to how the storms track up the east coast. Driving in an all snow event is pretty consistent once you get a feel for it unlike the slop here.

Not that they’re good drivers :p
