They do that here all the time in Tennessee, The problem here in Tennessee is that they don’t have very many snow removal trucks or salt trucks.
My son grew up in Northern Ohio where we get buried a few times a winter and people are used to it, plus we’ve got the plows and salt trucks. He’s seen all kinds of snow and ice conditions.
Now he’s at school in Nashville and he said there were only a couple inches earlier but there were wrecks all over the place, so he drove back home to get his car off the road.
