[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]Shoveling it out - of course we shoveled our car out. However, my street still hasn't been plowed. So you too assume everyone has an SUV. Regardless of what the carpool looks like, not everyone has an SUV. Driving on unplowed roads is not safe for anyone. Ignorant to think people can make it in. Go walk around and see. Not everyone has a heated driveway. [/quote]
I am sick of this don’t have an suv plea. How do you think people got around on the winter before there were big suvs? I’m from the Midwest and things didn’t grind to a halt 30 years ago when no SUVs. You clear your own car and learn to drive in the snow. I’m also sick of people saying we don’t have the snow equipment here. Do you think all of these little towns in the Midwest always had plows?   No and many still don’t. People just take more responsibility and clear their own driveways and around their cars. [/quote]

Begging you to stop using the Midwest as the measuring stick for snow preparedness. Your experience is irrelevant to a Mid-Atlantic climate.

PS, there were definitely SUVs 30 years ago (I had one) and there were certainly plows.  Maybe you don't remember because you were a kid and so the infrastructure that went into making your town work was not visible to you.

Do you know how large cities like NYC and London handled snow before there were plows? The city and businesses paid an army of workers to shovel the streets. Nobody was out there on "personal responsibility" making commerce happen. [/quote]
