you know... like for the last week its been barely snowing or anything, and there were tons of salt trucks out.. all hours.... now.... we have like 4 inches, blowing nasty below 0 temps.. not one salt truck.....??
I always curse having to drive through Pennsylvania in the winter. They recently made a MASSIVE increase to the cost of their turnpike. I haven't run the full length of it lately, but BEFORE the increase it used to cost over a hundred bucks in my truck. Ouch. I fear the cost now. And for all of that revenue, they do a seriously shitty job of treating winter conditions. Last year on I-80 there was an accident that quite litterally involved over 50 vehicles. That is inexcusable.
On the other hand, driving across the New York Thruway (I-90) is almost always a pleasure, as the state does a fine job of winter road maintenance.
This is one time when I'm glad I'm not up in the north-east. Boston and Providence were calling for about two feet of snow. I go to that area quite a lot, but as good fortune would have it I am down here in the mid-atlantic just barely catching the southern edge of this storm.
I drove to work today by memory, I couldnt see the roads at all.
