Coupling sexism to snow clearing order. I have now seen it all. This is getting to be quite the stretch. The correlation is tenious at best from the data they presented.

Don't see that. This seems pretty clear, and (as usual for Scandanavia, unlike almost everywhere else) rational:

"Three times as many people are injured while walking in icy conditions in Sweden than while driving. And the cost of those injuries far exceeds the cost of snow clearance."
