It has nothing to do with your inaccurate assumption about me.
All good; wasn’t sure if you were being facetious about the snowplows. 80 is a US interstate, so obviously they have plows, it’s just that even with Reno and Sac in the clear the stretch through the Sierras can get frequent/unpredictable/severe winter weather that can conceivably last for days.
