Dude, put it in context. That kind of weather is extremely rare here. AND we have no such thing as a snowplow or sand spreader truck. No salters, either. None. They had to use prisoners from the jail, on tops of the sand in the back of a dump truck, with shovels sanding the hills!
I remember the guy I bought my farm from told me back in 97 that five or so years ago then, it snowed and people couldn’t get up that same hill.
So say we get that kind of weather every 25 years, or four times a century. NOT like you get practically every Winter in Maine.
Not enough taxes to squeeze out of people to buy the equipment to clean the roads in Winter here. Better and cheaper to just stay home.
Well, a lot of that happens here too. Ever heard of the term..."cabin fever"?
