It’s only illegal to drive in this state if the snow emergency has reached a level 3. That’s right, illegal. As in they will arrest your ass if they catch you doing it.

Ten minutes ago, I had the extreme pleasure of watching a car, with snow halfway up its sides, unsurprisingly stuck in said snow in the parking lot. The tires were spinning backward and forward, with zero movement. Then, the people had to get out of the car and push it. One of them was wearing shorts. I trust she is mentally challenged, and, of course, feel a passable amount of pity accordingly.

Then, I saw another car pulling out of a parking space, because apparently seeing the other car stuck wasn’t enough to deter them from making a store run or whatever.

I see it as thus. It doesn’t matter what level the snow emergency is. It’s an emergency people! Stay home, drink hot cocoa, and watch your Buffy DVDs.
