Must be nice. When I was a kid, I used to see snowplows all the time, and they kept the roads well maintained. But around here theyve gotten worse and worse over the years, even to the point where last season they decided to quit plowing all but the main highways and a few other roads on weekends. One side road out in BFE they did decide to keep plowing, the one that leads to 2 ski resorts where the tourists flock to, imagine that. One weekend we got like 16" of really thick heavy snow, and any local economy we had left was ground to a halt for a few days. Need an ambulance? Forget it. Unless you had a jacked up 4x4 you werent going anywhere. Well at least recently they decided it didnt save them any money anyway, so maybe theyll at least keep the roads passable this season.
