Its interesting how different areas deal with snow and ice. I guess what I meant is that basically the west half of the US doenst salt, and some areas get alot of snow but life and traffic goes on... with just sanding. The east half salts, and the Northeast salts till you cant see the road anymore. Here in Albany 3" or more of snow will close most of the schools, but all else goes on. In Buffalo where it snows all the time from lake effect, they simply deal with it and never close any schools. You can get 2 feet here and most of the buisness' will stay open... I guess its all what you used to but when you spend $35K on a new Honda and its rusting through in 5 years you start to hate the salt.
