Where have all the snowplows gone?

Looks like the first real blanket of snow is here (and is yet building as I type this) and I'm not excited about it. If you recall, last year was pretty bad and I'm a little concerned that the great city in which I live has not really learned their preparedness lesson.  I'm waiting for my favorite truck (the snowplow) to come.  Oh well, we'll be going out of town soon to where they are masters at taking good care of the roads (and drivers).  I will now end this pointless rant:)
