I decided this should be it's own discussion......

I have always said we should have better plowing. $10-20 million extra would go a long way, and translate into $10-20 per person extra in taxes. Heck- even get insurance companies to chip in; and free up some overtime from the police that have to respond to crashes.

In Winnipeg, each street has designated places for them to pile up snow. If the accumulation warrants it, they will then remove the snow from the piles. This can be done long after the snow has fallen; like on a day like today where the plows wouldn't be as busy.
