Very timely, Sam! "Is it worth it to prepare/invest in storm management infrastructure for a single day of heavy flakes or should cities divert already limited resources to preparedness?"
I don't know, but Richmond, VA has hundred-year-old water system, and the snow seems to have caused the residents here (and in the surrounding, connected counties) to pay the price for a very low investment in updating over time. Maybe the city should sell some bonds? (but honestly, the muni stuff is over my head too)
Looking forward to another year of exasperation (positive)!
