As I said, around here they're not much better.
In 1996 when we had our last major snowfall here, the plow came through my neighborhood after a few days. One road has a rather short but somewhat steep hill- at a guess I would say about a 5-7% grade- and they tried to plow it.

Unfortunately the fuckwits tried to plow it by driving up it. The result was that there was one pass of the plow blade (wide enough for one car) that swerved and veered all over that little stretch of hill, and after that they were so discouraged that they didn't bother to plow the rest. It melted and froze into an icy sheet that no one could pass for about two weeks.

I wished soooooo hard that I could find the plow driver and bitchslap him...
