Thankfully this only happened once or twice a year. I would hate to see all that road clearing machinery sitting under a shed depreciating for 51 weeks of the year here in Atlanta.
And I would hate for you to have to be paying the taxes to own, maintain that fleet of snow plows, let alone be paying that manpower to operated it around the clock for a couple days each year. Any then there is all rock salt and places to store it. Better that the powers to be declare a driving ban and actually enforce it until the roads clear up.
I live and work in Tennessee. We have multi use vehicles in our highway department. They look like large dump trucks. They are used for everything from hauling debris, picking up road kill and doing general work most of the year. During the winter they wear snow plows and those nice truck beds turn into salt spreaders. We have about 20-30 of these in our area. They are used to help keep Monteagle Mtn and the surrounding area including Chattanooga taken car of in theses inter conditions.
There is more than one way to handle this and fortunately a modular vehicle system works well for our area in Tennessee.
When our roads get bad we just need to wait a little while and TDOT will get things passable soon enough.
Thanks,

And yet again, another vote for Tennessee knowing there stuff . You guys should capitalize on there in a ad campaign for tourists.
