To Plow or Not To Plow

I see all the salt trucks and snow plows making a mad dash back to the depot before the storm hits. I remember in 2009 they used to take strategic positions around the city every time a storm was coming so they could start working when they were needed and not when it was too late. I don't know whose idea it was to stop doing that but I do know that person should be fired or at least retrained.
