As much as I love snow, for reasons like this I will never live in a place that gets it.

That and the rust, so much rust from road salt. My car has been rust-free for 20 years and I'd like to keep it that way.

and the plows ~~don't bother~~ can't catch up

We play this game in South Africa too. Not because it snows, but because the lines don't get repainted soon enough even if they're completely faded. And instead of snow ploughs, we have taxis (the minibus versions) that just drive wherever and however they want.

I don't mind the roads so much. We plow the roads to have a snowbank on the ditch edges to act as bumpers to keep idiots and fools from careening off the road into a tree. As a retired medic, it made it easier to get people out of their cars and with less serious injuries.

What really pisses me off is the inability of people to park correctly in a parking lot. When the lines get covered in snow pack, everyone loses their minds and just start to randomly park anywhere and in any direction. I've seen clown park across two parking spots. And it stays that way for a least 6 months out of the year.

It's just one big white line
