Yes they keep salt on hand. They show the salt storage sheds at full capacity on the news before the storms hit and say they're prepared for it. But I believe the point Peen was making hits the nail on the head. It's not common to get any real snow accumulations around here. As such I don't think they have the number of plows and equipment needed to deal with it quickly and instead invest their resources on more pressing needs. I live in close proximity to Nashville. As such we have a lot of subdivisions and building is thriving here despite the interest rates. The population growth adds more and more roads to the equation and I certainly do not think the towns have been able to keep up with equipment to account for that growth.
