Snow Canada! Listening to "G'dolim"

I am fascinated at how inept the local snow and ice removal has been this winter..
Yet I'm told that Atlanta was hit with less snow and ice and was even in worse shape
And as I write this on Super Bowl Sunday, The Big D, Dallas, was paralyzed by relatively mild winter conditions.
My point? Why does every local municipality have to be so darned independent? Why don't they consult the experts, the G'dolim in Canada, and get THE definitive technique for handling a snow emergency?
It doesn't mean they would be absolutely bound by Canada's p'saq, but at least they would not be clueless!

Granted, not every municipality has the resources or equipment of EG Toronto or Montreal, but at least in terms of strategy why re-invent the wheel? Speak to experienced!

1) Most Americans aren't aware of Canada. We aren't on the weather map of the local TV stations which often includes Mexico but not us.
2) Those that are aware of us generally feel we are buried under snow 11 months of the year so what would we know about clearing it away?
3) Toronto calls the army in every time there's more than 1/2 foot of snow. Vancouver nearly shut their airport during a minor flurry last November. Only Montreal really knows how to clear snow and they don't speak English. So who can you really rely on?
