This kind of snow fall doesn't happen that often in winter, I think people can tough it out for the couple of days.

I was watching the news last night and they interviewed the guy in charge of the snow removal. He said for a 24 snow removal service of most roads they would need an increase of 75% equipment plus the staff to operate it all. He said the problem with this would be that lots of people would be sitting around when their isn't a huge snow fall and would be wasting tax payers money. So I think we need to find something that's balances timely removal with not wasting our money.
