If you ask me the State and many of the local towns screwed up. They might not have ordered salt and for sure the State wasn't salting but Morris County was doing a good job. So much for that increase in the gas tax to pay for roads maintenance ehhh! They just took the money and ran as usual.

Yeah, if there ever was a completely predictable snowfall, this was it. We knew days ahead of time and even the timing was unusually perfect. I'm quite unhappy to see a foot of snow on Nov 15th, but it is what it is, perhaps next spring will actually come in late March, early April instead of what we got this year.
Not sure I fully agree with you on the good job, though, the amount of salt they spray here in Morris is insane, there are literally mounds of salt on the roads in my neighborhood... grass needs to be completely reseeded next to the sidewalk every year, and our last SUV looked like a rust bucket underneath after only a few years. Can't believe there is no better alternative, sand, ground mulch or something less corrosive and anti-environment.
