Remedy for Record Snowfall

Regarding the record amounts of snowfall in a short period in upstate New York:

It's obvious that because certain regions in the US are vulnerable to blizzards, the government should spend whatever it takes to build heated roadways to protect drivers and to keep the economy going. Why aren't we doing this? And because we haven't in this case, we should at the very least be recycling that water, shipping it to regions of the world where there are droughts and water is direly needed.

I think it is wasteful of energy to have heated highways, esp. with the high cost of electricity and dependence on foreign oil. It would be much smarter to to put roofs over all the highways to keep the snow off the roads. Plus during the summer cars won't have to use the air conditioning as much, reducing the need for foreign oil.
