I am SO over this whole concept of snow and winter!

I read on KSL's website today that cities in Utah have pretty much burned through their snow removal and salt budgets for the year (read about it here).

Now trust me when I say I am NOT, in anyway, shape or form, a fan of the snow. I bitch and moan about it a lot. I despise the snow. It's cold, wet, messy, and most of all, it's a god-damn safety hazard! But you know what, I live in Utah, and unfortunately, moving to a tropical location really isn't in the cards for me. So I deal with it. Even I, who is far from the most financial and logically minded human, know enough to know that you've got to plan for the snow in Utah. Yet, all of these cities are talking about their snow removal budgets being spent. Yeah, I know we're in an economic down turn and cities are having to cut back on spending and all. But, isn't public safety and me (and other people too) not dying on the roads because they weren't plowed or salted/sanded kind of a necessity? It's not like this is the first year it's ever snowed and we were caught off guard, is it? Just a thought...
