"Sauk Centre's street department dealing with snow."

Around here, we know we can expect several feet of snow, scorching heat, floods, droughts, and the occasional tornado. Not on the same day, of course.

The point is, towns like Sauk Centre have equipment on hand, crews who know how to use the equipment, and a budget for this sort of (for us) normal weather.
