There's literally snow on the ground for the majority of the year in Edmonton. There's snow on the ground right now.

Hah, as I wrote my previous comment, inserting a caveat about Canada ran through my mind :)

My point still stands for most of the rest of the world, though.

Not on the roads though and that is where it matters. Most snowfall gets plowed up within a day of the snowfall ending.

Not in places like Winnipeg. Streets stay snowy for months.
