We have storms that leave snow for several days once every 17 years or so. I wouldn't worry about it here so much.

Agreed about the large accumulations. I was more thinking about the smaller ones that leave a thin coating - we seem to get those once or twice a year. With the asphalt, we can just wait until the sun has been up for an hour or two and melted them off.
