One to two inches of snow does to Dallas what 20" does to NYC No it doesn't. Sure New York drivers are more used to snow, and New York has a lot more snow equipment, so NYC can deal with the same amount of snow much better, but its not to the extent of 20" equals 1 inch. Actually, you're right to a degree. The 1-2 inch in Dallas comes with a little more frequency than the 20 inch snowfalls in NYC. Nonetheless, does a city plan its budget to take care of extraordinary items like a 20 inch snowfall every six years or a 2 inch snowfall once a year? And the answer is no. Both Dallas and NYC handle it the same way. It would be insane economically for a city to plan for extraordinary items in its budget. Anyone who does budgets knows that. End of discussion.
