Everyone else in the surrounding areas has their shite together and we have roads closed another night. It's not like the temperatures we saw were any more extreme than our neighbors.

A lot of bridges and elevated roadways has something to do with it.

Maybe because about 75% of the red areas are elevated, and one of the non elevated stretches received more snow than anywhere else around us?

No salt
No sand
No snow tires
No chains
No experience driving on ice
Bridges everywhere

It’s not rocket science

If by surrounding areas you mean Lafayette...LMAO! We have a stretch of I-49 in Opelousas shut down. Parts of 190 are shut down. People slipping and sliding all over the roads and into ditches. The I-210 and I-10 bridges in Lake Charles were shut down.

Things were hardly together over here. We just don't have the number of bridges and overpasses that SELA does.

Not sure if it has been said yet, but I must say that we have a lot of bridges and waters. Glad I could help.
