There is this invention called the snow plow that comes by every hour or sometimes sooner. Even if rates are 3’/hr, that is drivable with proper vehicles. 

 

What percentage of people drive "proper vehicles"?

Plowing snow doesn't make it vanish into thin air. How do you plow every lot and roadway for 70K people, do it fast enough to get everyone home within a few hours, and where do you put all that snow?

I’ve seen plenty of footage from blizzards with hundreds of “proper vehicles” buried and stuck in snow.

2’ wont be on the roadway surfaces at any one time. Maximum of 4” in between plowings on main roads. It’s fine. 

 

OK bro...

Either you don't live in this area or you don't know how snow plows work during these conditions.

And they were probably driving ridiculously fast. If you are going 5mph in a lifted truck with chains as an emergency, you are fine.

Nope, the roads became impassable with zero visibility, and even tractor trailers get stuck. Plenty of truckers have terrifying blizzard stories. You’ve got a shtick going on this topic, and I respect it. I’m not trying to change your beliefs.

Dude I’m a born and raised WNY who has done this more times than I can count. In some of the worst conditions imaginable.

Don’t be mad at me because you drive a car that spins out on flurries. Get a truck and put some chains on it. 


I drive a Tacoma and live in Atlanta so if I drive around with chains, I am pretty sure I will get pulled over.
