dug at great cost of money and time, along with all the disruptions

Wisconsin allowed studded tires for a while in the 1960's and early
70's. They made my light-in-the-ass Firebird much more drivable here in
our winters, but they were quickly outlawed when it was seen how much
road damage they caused. I'm surprised Washington doesn't just do the same.

John,
I've watched this underground wires discussion for a while.

I have also been watching the discussion on underground wires. I live in
Louisville, Kentucky. Here strong storms, tornados and shear winds are not
unusual. A couple of years ago remnants of a hurricane even made it to
Louisville, as well as much of the central part of the USA. There were a

I know what you mean about chaos, but it generally only lasts through
the first one or two snows here, then folks seem to re-learn how to
drive in the white stuff - all but some of the idiots in four wheel
drive SUVs. They never seem to learn that with four wheel drive they
can go like hell
Similar HDD setups are used to lay gas pipe up to 50 inches or so ---
possibly larger --- but this is the largest I have first hand knowledge
of. So, laying underground medium and low voltage lines should be
feasible.
