Last time I was in weather like that, the road crews were out ASAP, usually before anyone was aware it had snowed, and coal dust was spread on the roads. It works much better than salt and doesn’t damage the vehicles.

WAY back when, we lived in a town with 4000 folks. After every snowfall of any measure, we would see a horse-drawn V-shaped sledge, clearing the sidewalks. The horse, in full harness, wore bells, and looking back, recalling his proud stance, I’m sure the horse was pleased with what he was doing.

Too bad we didn’t have video then...(Maybe it’s why I love to see the Budweiser Clydesdales in the snow...)

These days the county usually has the deicers out well before the storm and the sanders as soon as possible on its tail end.

Not this time. Are they out of money?

I've often wondered about horses in that way. Not too familiar with them.
