Woah, woah, woah. Slow it down a notch. You can't except the local governments to actually plow ... Instead, they just salt the living daylights out of the road and don't touch them for 2 days after a storm.
And asking people to be responsible and equip their cars properly for winter?!!?!? That's crazytalk!

Not as bad. If it's -20 out ... your car isn't going to rust. Heat (or lack of ) acts as a catalyst (or lack of).
