Opinion: Why does Utah have a harder time getting snow off the roads?

As a transplant to Utah who grew up in Minnesota, Meg Walter's March 2 opinion piece on the weather (and apparent lack of wintertime resilience) gave me a chuckle. I've sniffled more than once about the 'Greatest snow on earth's' disappointing inability to stick around for longer than a couple days. However, once I stopped indulging myself with the virtues of my superior Midwestern winter grit, I realized she did have at least one valid point. You see, while snowstorms generally aren't as bad or as frequent in Utah, they do tend to cause more problems driving than equivalent storms in Minnesota.
