You got to remember these small time plow drivers that plow individual driveways are making rounds. If they have 30 driveways, by the time that get back for a second or third pass it's already frozen. It's not the same as plowing an airport or a shopping mall. That equipment is there non stop until the storm stops, plowing, sanding, and salting continuously.
That's why sanding and salting in NH is a must.
My town road is not paved. It is already a solid 4" block of ice. The town puts down sand almost daily. They don't use any salt as I'm too close to Lake Waukewan and it's the town water supply.
