I certainly like living on a snow emergency route -- I pretty much always have in Minneapolis, E. 28th was and Minnehaha Ave. was and Blaisdell Ave. is.
I never have noticed street noise, particularly . I notice the building shaking -- but that's mostly city buses, and they don't run on Blaisdell so I don't get it that much any more (sometimes when a big fire truck goes by -- usually the "wrong way" on the one-way street).
Our garage is on the alley. Saturday afternoon I got stuck on 37th St. trying to get to the alley entrance (and decided even trying the alley at that point was insane). Probably should have moved the car to the back early, and given up on Saturday errands and probably on getting out at all until Sunday. But so often the storm is less than predicted.
