My hometown can't handle snow

The community paper back in my hometown, the Comox Valley Record, has posted some pictures in its Facebook group of the community's recent snowfall. A minor dusting by TDot standards, I assure you. But this photo in particular caught my eye:

Yes, that's right, they pile the snow in the middle of the street and cut holes for left-hand turns where appropriate. Been doing it that way for years. Craziest dammed thing I've seen. They probably don't have the budget for full-blown removal and remediation, and most often it melts by lunchtime anyways. But when it does stick around, and pile up, it makes driving interesting, to say the least.
