2008 was a complete disaster. Wrong plan, wrong things done, wrong routes plowed, etc. I heard a very loud and clear refutation of that stupid plan of 2008 on the radio several times and one of the announcements said "all thirty pieces of snow removal equipment (vehicles) were continuously active throughout the city", with the drivers all working in shifts. It was a much better plan, though a much lesser storm. Thirty rigs for all of Seattle. I think that's a good number. We don't get the snow much, but usually every year. I wouldn't want a vast fleet of expensive equipment idle 360 days a year.
