>> The case that started this discussion was NYC. NYC gets a major snowstorm [20 in] roughly every 6 years. Tim feels that the city should have the equipment and deicing materials on hand that would handle such a storm even though it happens only every 6 years. Well applying Tim's thesis to Dallas...shouldn't the city of Dallas have some equipment and deicing materials on hand to handle the one snow storm they get each year? A snow storm in Dallas is not an important event, unless it is one like this year; these do NOT happen every six years in Dallas, or probably every 15.. In the first place, as pointed out, they don't get snow every year. Sometimes you go several years without seeing a snowflake. It just isn't the same in this area as it is in NYC or Detroit. Show-stopping snow storms just don't happen very often.
