      The roads in Norway are better in winter because the snow plows scrape the snow and ice flat so its actually quite smooth.

        I like the parts of Canada where we don’t plow. Just toss a bit of sand on it and drive over top of it until it melts in the spring. Kinda works in like a “lowered expectations” way.

          I’ve seen roads in Finland where they’d basically rake the road like a skiing piste. If you just leave it, it’ll turn to ice eventually, and with several centimetres of rock hard ice the only traction is from making the ice uneven.

            Me, descendant of Finns: I need to return to the Motherland, this America thing seems like it’s going down hard

            Me seeing comments like this: Oh, nvm, I’d rather do a civil war.

              Snowpack is really nice to drive on, you just have to slow down a little. it’s way better than the fucking corrosive salt brine they use so morons can keep driving 80mph in a blizzard here. Not to mention what dumping all that sulfurs and magnesium chloride into our lakes and rivers is probably doing to us.
