Californian here: Substitute fire for snow and this is also good advice.

I hate how long it takes the fireplow to clear my road of fire. It always comes down to some random guy who lives here with his gas-powered fireblower to clear the area instead because they took too long.

Or having a heart attack. The number of men that die each year shovelling fire.. I don't wanna think about it.

I used to live in the bay. Save 5 mins had me praying for my life in the back roads that last almost 30 mins. On a dirt mountain road with only room for one car to pass through at a time, if both cars went, me going the opposite way would have fell off the mountain. So I never ever save “5 mins” anymore.

My partner tried this also and ended up at the car line to hop onto the ferry. Which would have been a 2 hour wait to get on.
