I don’t think you guys are fair to the Israeli system.
Remember that when it snows in Russia, the snow remains a continuous frozen mass, and it much easier to work with. In this country it ocntinuously changes, from about 36f to below 30f so the snow melts, and turns into black ice. Slso, the snow is mainly on mountainous areas, makingthings impossible. Throw in that all too many israeli’s haven’t even the money for boots, and simply put plastic bags over their shoes to keep out the water, that the nost the cars lying abandoned would long have been on the garbage heap in the good ole US, throw in that the transport is already at capacity… The Israeli’s did a mighty good job.
