Question about snow driving

So I am watching very good clips of people in the Boston area driving around their neighborhoods tonight,where a lot of road snow
has been packed down, but still lots of stuck cars.
What I don't see are chains. They were ubiquitous back in the day for West Coast winter driving,and still are mandatory for over the pass driving.
Snow conditions once the initial piles have been packed down,seem the same to my eyes.
What am I missing?

Very good short article on how trump is making millions from crypto without paying a cent

Shutting down Gov. = rising value of crypto.

Thank all of you for your well wishes.

Mr. Dixie spent most of Dec. in & out of hospital for a recurring problem. His 3rd trip in was Christmas Day. He is still in hospital. That stay included double pneumonia on top of a collapsed lung.
Then I got pneumonia. So for 3 days we were one room apart in the same ICU.
ON day 4 he was transferred to a larger hospital in Pensacola, had a Cat Scan where a tumor was identified.
Unnamed tumor was "too close to his heart" to open chest to fix lung. So they used a laperscope ( I don't know correct name for it)..tube and cameras...to fix the " holes" in his lung. Had no idea there were holes, plural.
I came home 2 days ago.
He is still in hospital, very weak and tired, but breathing is easier he said.
He also said "they" had managed to break "some ribs".

We are a 2 hour drive from Pensacola. Communicating via his smart phone and my tablete mail.

I blame it all on Trump.

Did anyone see this on their ballots??

There were city, county and state positions.
On most of the positions there was a Libertarian option, along with Repub/Dem. candidates.

Never have seen this before. Even when there was no Dem. choice, there was the other 2.
