I live in the Atlanta area. We have plows. They just don’t get the rural back roads until last. They do a decent job on main roads. We also have brining truck, they brined 60k miles of highway last snow a couple of weeks ago. Too many people don’t know how to drive in the snow or ice though.
I’ve live in New England for decades in the past and northern Ohio, Indiana, etc. It is dangerous to go out and about down here because of inexperienced drivers in the snow/ice, plowed or not plowed, brined or not.
That Atlanta finally got plows is great. When I lived there, the place just shut down when this happened, until it melted. Granted that about 40 years ago. Good to hear that they salt the roads, too.
