Gripes about the icy roads!

Okay, the roads are ridiculous. I live on a well-traveled sideroad (huh?) in Springfield...but it is completely frozen. My car slid as I came home from work last night...and I was only driving 5 miles an hour. My neighbor ran into a light pole on our block! Maybe someone can help me out...should someone (ahem, the city) attempt to clean up other roads besides the main drags? Talk amongst yourselves.
