In "da beach" the temp, at 1530 is 37 degrees F [3 C] and sunny. All of the primary roads are clear, but the secondary
roads are slush and will be ice before morning. The snow from Saturday is still here, and the schools were closed today.
A lot of the community colleges cancelled classes, and the city state offices are closed. Two inches of snow shuts
this city down.... and we got seven to ten inches, depending on the area. FWIW, the city of Va. Beach has two snowplows !!
They were leasing road graders and front end loaders from construction companies to clear the main roads.

The problem over here is that the damn city ran out or salt for the roads!

We've got the same problems here with road salt supplies, and the guys at the road maintenance crews can't just use gravel/sand, because it's two different types of machines that they need for salt and/or gravel/sand.
So it's only the major roads who gets cleared and salted, and when it comes to helping people (ambulances/police/fire trucks), the military has to step in and help people where it is needed.

they don't use much salt here , they spray the roads with some solution when snow is forecast and the solution does its work

Yeah the major roads such as the Autobahns and the cities with more money do the same thing here. The smaller areas like where I live, still use salt however.
 
Man it is hot here, high 20's at least. I'm camping at the moment which makes it even worse; can't even sit in the tent between 11am and 7pm as it's just too hot
