Many years ago (I want to say around 93) I drove to Florida to visit my parents that lived down there in the winter. They got 6 inches of snow in Paducah Kentucky and everybody there thought the world had come to a end. We couldn't even get any food because they shut down all the stores and restaurants. The next day we took off down the interstate and it was terrible. The semi trucks had been running all night and they had all the snow packed on. All that was on the road was me in my RWD 81 T-Bird and semi trucks. I stopped at one truck stop and told a trucker I was thinking about quitting and he said don't give up your about 10 miles from the state line. The plow trucks from Kentucky hadn't been plowing at all during the night but, Tennessee had learned it's lesson from a storm a few year earlier and had been up all night clearing the roads. He was right, once I crossed the state line it was all good road after that because the Tennessee DOT was on the ball and kept the plow trucks going all night long to keep the snow off. The Kentucky DOT had not done that and there roads were packed solid with snow.
