Driving down I64 in KY this afternoon, pasted a portable roadside sign that advised drivers to watch out for "WINTER MAINTENANCE VEHICLES" are we talking about snow plows?? We can't say " snow plow" now ??

I don't know why anyone wants to maintain Winter.

My guess is the term includes road repair [pothole] vehicles as well as plows & salt shakers.

Maybe WMV sounds more professional than just plain 'ol snow plow.. Who knows?? Why would anyone want to maintain winter. Hey "winter maintainer", I see a new state job!!!

After the rash of hilarious [hacked] portable electronic signs, it was clear they're pretty easy to reprogram. I wonder if states have plugged the security gaps.....

Simple, as soon as a government bureaucracy gives a fancier name to something they double their budget requirement and add more layers to their already excessive pyramid.
