Here's our street.

Sundae Girl, the main difference I notice with snow here (apart from the obvious more/more often) is that it's so cold it just doesn't melt on the roads from the heat and dirt of the traffic, even on the motorways. It can be rush-hour and the stuff still sticks to the tarmac -cars going over it just churn it up rather than melt it. It has to be ploughed/plowed.

Our street is the only entrance to a residential neignborhood with about 500 households = lots of cars. The snow started to fall 24 hours ago and it's still deep and white on the street -just a little churned. We're low down on the plowing priority list.

Also worth noting that it's hard for us to take meaningful "before" pics, as there is snow on the ground all winter. It doesn't usually start to melt until March, so whilst this is the first almost-big snow of the season, the ground (apart from streets and sidewalks) was already covered with about 3" of the old stuff.
