I know exactly why. (My parents live in Pennsylvania). The snow ploughs
tear them out of the road.

They don't up here, and yes I do live in a bit of England that does
require the roads to be ploughed fairly regulary. The hefty cast iron
casting set into the road should protect the rubber cats eye unit from
being ripped out. May be US cats eyes are of a different design?
