This is no exaggeration. My wife has an aunt and cousin that live in OK City and they E-Mailed to tell us that Oklahoma was under a state of emergency. The thing I couldn't understand is when they showed a picture of the OK City downtown core yesterday afternoon where there was nary a soul or car to be found and the snow fall had all but stopped, the snow continued to sit on the ground with not a plow in sight.
I dunno, you would think at some point over the course of time when an area is hit with enough of these they would spend some money to buy some snow removal equipment. Of course, from what I am reading and seeing, are many of the cities and states in the US under such dire financial straits that they can't even afford buy this stuff? Maybe I am being a bit simplistic but from the standpoint of lost productivity alone I would think that shutting down the place for two or three days is far more costly than buying some snow removal equipment.
