:dat: so many people don't brush off their cars. Then it all flies off at highway speeds and you slam into airborne ice sheets :wtf:

I did think about the snow blowing off, but decided I liked the look of it on the truk more. I drove around, on the interstate even. NFG.

Oh well, lesson learned.

The big issue is the roof. Nobody clears off the roof.

We just got a thin layer of trash an hour west. Wasn't really worth much, but I did just stay home and did fuck all for the whole day since school was closed and I don't trust Louisiana drivers on the road.

At first i thought southerners were terribly inexperienced with snow and that is why they donut through intersections and into lamp posts, but it's probably summer tars that attribute to the problem most. Or maybe both, :iono:

We had very few accidents. It was snowy, but above freezing on the ground.

When it gets icy, that's when it gets bad, we have no plows, salt trucks, or grit on the road.

Near zero or zero infrastructure to clear the roads, inexperienced drivers in the snow, no one has snow tires, some have summer tires only (me), so it's a lot of things.

We also tend to get more ice in the south than powdery snow, which is harder to stop on.

No equipment to clear roads or lay salt/sand/etc down makes it hazardous regardless if you know how to drive on it or not.

Since temps pop back up over freezing quickly it's probably wise to just take a day off when it snows or ices over.
