I think the main problem is the lack of equipment to treat the roads. If they had the equipment like we have up north, these things wouldn't be so severe. I am from MI and currently at the gulf coast in MS. It is all ice here. Yes, I had to drive home from work on it - slow and steady. I did see many many people still trying to drive the normal speed -- total lack of understanding as to what will happen on ice. I just tried to stay out of the way!

Agreed; there is a lack of equipment in the South. Fiscally speaking its not practical for them to buy big bucks snow removal equipment to use once or twice every 15 years.

In snow and sub arctic weather of the northern USA from Maine to Montana I've seen some horrendous pile ups from people driving on icy roads. It's not always the people. Sometimes it's how quickly the roads ice as happened in that front that blew through the South.

Meteorology still cannot predict the hour a front will hit. If they could we'd all be able to put it into our appt books: Noon ice storm, leave work at 10:30 am. It would be handy but its not available yet.
