I would love to hear the Scandinavian or Canadian point of view on how we
handle our snowfalls in this country.


I was in Canada last winter when a foot of snow fell over night in the city
(Regina) none of the roads were treated or cleared - the traffic was left to
sort itself out. However all the main pavements were snow blown clear by
9am. Just different priorities.


In the centre of Kiruna N Sweden) they have undergound heating under the
pavements. This is very effective at clearing the ice.
