re: #206 lawhawk

I know that’s a bit tongue in cheek, but I really doubt that. State-agency snowplows pretty much are operated by the Turnpike Authority - clearing the Turnpike and GSP. State DOT handles other state highways. County plows will clear county roads, and towns/cities will clear their roads. Port Authority clears the approaches and spans of the bridges/tunnels.

Where a problem could occur? When the snow amounts become too great for the plows to keep up, cars get abandoned, and/or response after the storm is slowed.

That’s one reason the large cities close stuff down in advance of major weather threats. Large traffic volumes through choke points. And once there is an accident, or worse, anything leading to abandoned cars then removal issues compound since the trucks and plow have issues getting around the newly placed obstacles.
