[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]The city of Buffalo owns 36 snow plows. Buffalo gets an average of 90 inches of snow each year.

DC gets an average of 14 inches of snow each year. It owns *368* snowplows.

The city should be doing better. [/quote]

You seem to like to cite these numbers, but a quick google tells me that they are not even close to correct.[/quote]

Turns out you're bad at Google.

District Snow Team Deployment

The snow team will engage in a full deployment, consisting of more than 300 heavy and light plows. Heavy plows (six- and 10-wheel dump trucks) treat highways, streets, bridges, ramps, and other elevated structures, and light plows (pick-up trucks) treat smaller streets.

There are many key words you have conveniently left out. Look at how many they own. Also, look into how many Buffalo owns and how many additional pieces they utilize.  [/quote]

Agree the numbers sound really iffy. I also grew up in that part of New York State ("lake effect snow" region) and when there was a blizzard, every 4th vehicle was a plow, in my very very small town. [/quote]
