Speak for yourself. I grew up in Montana and snow IS a major problem.

When was that? Right at the dawn of the automobile age before they'd
figured out how to plow roads?

There are times when it can take several days to even get
Interstates open up across the tier of northern plains states.
Minor back roads may stay closed for days and days and never get
plowed.

At the eastern end of Lake Erie around Buffalo they really get a lot of
snow dumped on them. All it does is slow people down a bit. They can get a
foot or two of snow overnight and the roads will be open and everything
keeps running. In other places they aren't bright enough to invest in a few
sanders and snow plows and an inch of snow is a disaster. That's like
getting flooded out in a light rain because you don't have a roof on your
house.
