Because I'm not talking about when it's snowing. I'm talking about the entire season of winter. The snow doesn't disappear when it stops snowing. Even when plows come they're not getting down to asphalt half the time. It's still obscuring the curbside and road markings for weeks or months. Yes, freeways, highways, and major roads might have their curbs and markings restored to full visibility within a day or two. But most roads do not.
