The City of Tulsa has 37 snowplows and 58 spreaders (dump trucks that toss salt / sand mix out the back as they go - we get much more ice than snow). 400,000 residents, 182 square miles, with high road density. They make no attempt to plow or salt the neighborhoods, though - just the arterial roads and highways. Average days below freezing: 72. Average snowfall: 9 inches.
