Even here we never have enough snowplows and things, and Canada is supposed to have heavy snow. Once they called in the army!

There's a law here about people being responsible for clearing the pavements in front of their houses or establishments. And if people followed the law that would be awesome. But I have friends in the suburbs who have to wade for ages through knee-high snow because no one has bothered removing it. I'm in a heavily populated area and leave for work later than most, so it's usually not bad when I go. Except when it turns to ice because it's been left to partially melt and then refreeze.

Good luck on that infrastructure thing.
