Agree, nothing better when everything is froze solid and you can wash the car and have it stay clean for a while in the winter.
BUT the DOTs and municipalities have to care for roads to the least common denominator....the people who drive around with bald tires in 1982 chevies and don’t know how to drive in snow. Also traffic volumes play a huge role. Urban freeway with snow = traffic mess no matter who or where you are. Same road with salty water = better traffic flow and less accidents.
