re: Question about frozen interstates in Louisiana:

bencoleman - Tell Denny we think of your family often. He'll probabaly not understand the blessing that experience was for us. God can take one situation and effect so many lives in different ways. That would have certainly been a tough one to go through from the side of your family. We hope they are doing well.

Louisiana probably doesn't have the equipment to treat the roads. Here in Tennesse there are large metal sheds full of salt along the Interstate Hwys when Winter comes. Prior to a winter storm they treat the roads. If it snows, the main roads are plowed first, then the secondary roads.
How often does Louisiana need snow removal equipment?
