    I’m a Michigander. We don’t get ridiculous low temps like -70 or anything but, I wish most roads would be left alone. Plow and salt main Highways and expressways but, leave everything else undone. Then we can buy vehicles that can traverse the snow like sleds or good 4x4 rigs.

    This would keep our roads nicer and would keep our cars from rotting out

      That’s not really feasible. School buses is one obvious reason (among many others).

      If you have no traction it doesn’t matter how many wheels have power to them your still gonna slip.

      Amoung the tons of other issues with just not plowing some roads. Comment reeks of brainrot.

        Sleds we’re mentioned for a reason. Make it the job of the individual to decide if leaving here is worth the work or not

            That’s where studs come in. Been there done that. Just takes more prep

            Also this is why I’m only advocating for back roads and rural roads to not be plowed. And to have people prepare themselves for that kindve environment instead of relying on us as a society to try and stop the weather from doing what it does.

            And if it’s to slick take the sled. Or snow machine
