Major roads are usually plowed, so the amount of snow usually isn't an issue. Traffic and city trucks push snow to the side. When a storm is on the horizon, "Snow Command" HQ is all over the news, with Al Sanchez giving defcon updates, and obligatory shots of blue city trucks idling, waiting to be called into action. But Sanchez fell on his sword for da mare this last summer, so who knows who will keep society's seams from splitting. Anyway, I think its fair to say that getting pelted by salt spun from a city truck's salt spinner is a rite of passage. That and spinning helplessly on ice. I'm looking forward to it.
