Right, it did snow every other day, but they won't plow. They wait until it stops snowing, then they plow and salt, and they do a poor job at it when they do (not just in Novi, but all over). When we had that really bad storm, they let it snow all freaking night, and did nothing until the next day. I'm like, really? In Minnesota and North Dakota, when I lived there, and when I go back to visit my mom, and my in-laws, with really bad snow storms, the trucks are out all night. They start salting when the snow starts. Then, the next morning the roads are just water after the plowing. Here, it's left over slush, and that stuff is hard to drive in. I am just so sick of it.

I don't know. I'm guessing, but I think so, because salt trucks in Minnesota carry a darker blue salt. It's so blue that if you have a white car, or lighter color car, it stains, and it's hard to clean off. My mom has that problem every year. Her SUV is silver. I've noticed in Michigan that the salt is either white or a really light blue. I think there's a different between what the two states are using. But I could be wrong.
