our main issues down here are always ice. the snow on roads melts and ices over. Overpasses ice over. And since it doesn't happen that often we have no idea how to drive on it. Most cities/areas don't have the equipment to clear the roads because it simply isn't cost effective since you might use them one or twice every 2-5 years or more. the main interstate running N/S through the state is basically a parking lot from Birmingham on south with multiple wrecks. The muni police just announced they will no longer respond to wrecks that do not involve injuries.
