Our township guys are pretty good too. Last snow they managed to knock off about 80% of the mail boxes.

Driving on flooded roads is a bad idea, too. Better to stay home or wherever you are and wait for the roads to drain, if you can.

At least in south Louisiana the land is as flat as a pancake, so no risk of driving into a gully and being swept away, although confused people do drive off the road into drainage canals from time to time. In places where it is hilly people can't tell how much water is on the road. I nearly drove into 4 feet of water once in Chantilly, but there was a sign by the road with markings that showed the depth of the water.

On hilly areas around here, I used to see muscle car after muscle car stuck in deep snow on the side of the road. Do they even make muscle cars with rear wheel drive anymore?
