Message: [QUOTE="Bigboote, post: 4164294, member: 7631"] I moved to Virginia from Maine. In addition to the culture shock, the complete inability to handle snow totally baffled me. For an area with about 100,000 people and 800 square miles, they had two snow plows. They got a grant to improve their ability to handle snow. They could buy two more plows or 10 spreaders (or 1 and 5). They went with the spreaders. I lived in an apartment complex that was on the side of a hill. They had two plows for the parking lot. They broke both plows not lifting them for the speed bumps, so they didn't plow for the rest of the winter that year. In my time in Virginia, we got more snow than my folks got in Connecticut, so it's not like snow was something really unusual. [/QUOTE]
