Bottom line is the money. It cost money to run a plow and salt truck. Pay LEO’s to watch the idiots slip slide along, or respond to crashes and rollovers. Play traffic controller while Tommy Towtruck hauls Billy Bigrigger outta the ditch.

Truthfully I’d rather look at the “OM” than the one he’s using as an avatar.
