nothing broken
Nothing broken as not breaking action due to no brakes and not braking.
Only when u can effectively brake you can really break.
Let's have a break, as we cant brake anyway.
Easy.

I recently saw a documentary about Chicago O'Hare. Despite Illinois' notorious winters, said airport hasn't been closed by wx for 22 years. At the first sign of snow, they deploy a fleet of ploughs & blowers, run with miltary precision. Very impressive.
Sadly, this doesn't come cheap. Figures weren't quoted but I reckon the trucks alone cost a good few million.
