I had never seen a blizzard until yesterday. I didn't take the SAAB from the garage during the whiteout, but I did shovel the drive that evening.
I got out today and was surprised to see that even the highways were unplowed. The media was reporting that the City plows were getting stuck and couldn't clear the roads. I saw a person fishtail several times before not only hitting the curb, but driving over it and up the adjoining berm sort of "Dukes of Hazard" style.
Naturally I never had a problem with the streets. Between the winter driving mode, traction control, and driving safely; I traveled to downtown and got back home in one piece.
Like every day after a large snow storm here, it is now 40 degrees and everything is melting.
