and they also salt the roads (not good on cars)
The UK is one place that also finds snow difficult too handle, because its wet snow (i.e you get more of it, its heavier, etc)
the Siera Nevada in California also gets alot of wet snow (not as wet because its a bit more inland), but things their shut down over the winter anyway
I could give more examples, but somehow from your reaction , I dont think you are interested.
(alos Buffalo in the USA has disruption from wet snow that comes off the great lakes (i.e dry snow (powder), is light and you just dust it off things, and with special snow tyres its not a problem on the roads (i have seen this first hand in Hokiado (speeling), northern Japan)
