At least people around you are prepared for this sort of snow event. Here we've gotten 10" + three times in three weeks. Plowing has been minimal. Salting has only occured on state and US roads. Now it's been fine since you know it's 50 and raining a few days after and the snow has quickly dissapeared, except you know today when it's well below freezing and everything is cover in ice. Futhermore you can't find decent snow shovels or snow wear in any store. I kid you not, I just ordered a snow shovel off the internet since ours happened to get run over.
