I sincerely appreciate the replies. I was perhaps given bad information leading me to believe that HOA dues contribute to the snow removal.. hence not thinking that the city is responsible, rather thinking they had contracted out the snow removal..so on and so forth. Please excuse my ignorance on that subject. :blush:
That being said, I know we live in UT. I know it snows. I grew up in the midwest, so driving on snow is not a foreign concept to me. Please do not assume that just because I may not want to drive on the snow, does not mean that I don't know how per the conditions nor that I am unable to make sure I have the appropriate tires and such. :P
Sorry about my assumptions. Usually when I hear or read someone complaining about driving on snow it is because they are not used to it and a bit scared. Salt Lake has become a real melting pot of people from all across the country (and world) and I think the snow driving ignorance is showing: there were over 500 accidents this last week alone.
Back to snow removal. Kaysville announced yesterday they are discontinuing snow removal on residential streets this winter due to budget concerns. I haven't heard of any similar plans by South Jordan but wouldn't consider it impossible. Scoop could probably find out if there will be changes to snow removal by the city.
