    They do not salt the road between my house and town, they don't plow much better either. We are supposed to get 6-9" tonight and then high winds.

    I lived in Louisville, KY for three years. The local coal fired power plant had tons of ashes that were used to cover the streets. Then lived in the boonies for six years. County highway department wouldn't wait when snow fell. If on a weekend, they didn't get out until Monday AM. By then the snow was packed and slick as snot on a doorknob. Only road that got immediate action was US 50.
    Sota, born and raised in Ohio. The state highway people were on call 24/7 from October 1st to April 1st for snow removal. In those days, stores closed at 6 PM. I remember going down High Street (US 23) and seeing salt/snowplows at major intersections waiting for snow. When it got about 1/4 inch, then they went into action.

    we got 6-7"of the white crap I did not even attempt to go in to work. Fairly certain I disappointed my grandfather I only did a single pass with the snow blower and my sidewalks are not down to cement. In my defense it is still snowing.
