I've been lauding the YakTracks (and their variations) on GC for years. They do work better on more glaciated snow and ice, and if the drifts are high I have my snowshoes on.
My only righteous indignancy about people complaining about the snow is that other than travel it isn't unreasonable to keep enough food and water on hand for a week for emergencies. I grew up in San Francisco (no snow) and have had that set up my whole life due to earth quakes. I have my camping gear in the event my home is demolished, but are people just not prepared for emergencies? I know the roads suck but are complaints about roads related to getting to the store and what not, wouldn't the lack of infrastructure for clearing roads be lessened if people stayed the hell home so roads could be cleared quicker, which is what we do here or people clear roads on their own.
Yeah, I'm not making Idaho look good about cuckoo survivalists but honestly, emergency preparedness is a good idea.
