What kind of place do you live...?
It's a very liberal city, so they don't like salt here. It's not good for the fishies apparently; so they use sand instead. (Never mind the fact the waterway through town is heavily polluted already... :p) Sand doesn't really work very well; and the large rocks crack windows for the next 2 months till they can scrape it all up.
We have a couple dozen sand trucks/plows for a metro area of 2 million. The west side of the city has a
ridge running through it. Meaning many of those commuting have to drive over it to get home. Added to that the
gorge funnels cold air from the east side of the state right into the town. Meaning episodes of freezing rain are pretty common in winter.
Until they put
this in I would have been stuck at work until the roads cleared. One of the gals I work with keeps supplies here so she can sleep in the office if needed during the winter. She's had to do it a few times before.
IMO putting a major hospital on a hill, which is inaccessible to ambulances during a storm, isn't exactly win...
P.S. Looks like EJ may finally be getting a druid raid-healing guide. It's 25-man heavy, like most of their stuff, but it looks pretty good. :-)
