It doesn't seem as though things have changed much.  From a Republican Register editorial, February 15, 1945:

"Painfully Moravia scrambles out of the difficulties born of record snows.  For more than two months the village, and its environs, have fought through one storm after another.  Transportation has been difficult.  Freight has been under embargo.  Another year Moravia, we hope will be better prepared.  It matters not that odds are all against a repetition of such storms.  Lessons have been learned at high cost.  Snow probably will not again overwhelm us."
