It's not the roads, it's people not having the education to have the right tires and get in the left lane unless they are passing.

On this website, it says they plow main roads within 24 hours after an accumulation of two inches, and side streets and parking lots within 48 hours after an accumulation of 48.
That's GOOD! Not what I'm used to.

Side roads in 48 hours after an accumulation of 3 inches! Sorry.
I must be thinking about the state I live in now... they might start to think about the side roads at around the 40 inch mark....

its not that I have a problem with you...I just disagree with your opinion...every time

born and raised in a town where cows out number people and going to a high school where the total school population barely was that of an individual class in larger cities

I see things from the "country" side of things and I can tell you are 100% big city through and through...thats about the only reason...

unfortunately my love for the state and almost everything about it involves the "rural" areas and opportunities...but hell I don't even live there currently so what do I know
