They have thirty plows (or something like that) for a city of 4.5M. As
far as not knowing how to use it, well, if you only have a need for it
once every three to ten years, it's hard to remember (and keep the
equipment up).
The roads were ice, quite quickly. Salt would have fixed everything
but THERE IS NO SALT AND NOTHING TO SPREAD IT WITH.
Then there's also the point that salt is only effective down to about 20F
and is completely ineffective at 10F by itself. Unless they stockpile salt
mixtures, they're screwed.
