I think you may be right jeffk. Years ago, before Rt93 and Rt95, I remember drivers knew how to drive in the snow ... usually slowly and considerately. My mother told me about when she was a young nurse in Nashua and had to get to work at night in a bad snow storm. She waited until a snowplow came along and she followed it. She didn't think he was going all the way to the hospital but she followed anyway. The plow driver stopped, got out and asked here where she was going. She said Hospital, he saw the white uniform and said "ok, follow me". Took her right to the staff parking lot. Every one else was staying off the roads .... because it was snowing!!
