do not invest in the cold even removal mechanisms. It doesn't make sense. Investing millions into something that may or may not be used every other or every 3 years? It's not cost effective. It's the 'fringe' southern states that get the negative press about kids missing school with a dusting or a couple of inches, but the truth is we don't invest in the infrastructure to mitigate these things because they are largely infrequent.
