        People with mobility issues and even just people with shorter legs can struggle to walk around in a snow storm, especially when budgets vastly prioritize car lanes over sidewalks and pathways.

        And if you do have to drive its fine so long as you leave earlier to account for slower speeds and some delays like plows or accidents.

            I have to drive a van for work, no way I’m convincing my 70 year old french canadian boss that some snow is a good reason to shut down working for the day.

      Okay, I see what you mean, now. I think I was interpreting “shutdown” in a more absolute sense and “economy” in a broader sense. I was concerned more along the lines of utilities, EMS, etc being unavailable.
