Which states does the best or worst jobs in treating snow and ice on the highway?

Do they allow chains in PA?

 

Wisconsin is the best

Indiana is the worst

 

I would say montana does good job, idaho so-so and WA snoqualmie pass is worst! Every time it snows there expect it to be closed or chain up cause they don't want to mess around with cleaning slush

 

Why wouldnt they?

 

Sometimes snow piles up on Snoqualmie faster than anyone could possibly clear it.

 

We pretty much have snow packed roads from November to March. They scrape the best they can, and spray that stupid magnesium chloride that eats up vehicles everywhere. I’m sure since the population is barely over 1M is a lot of the reason why there isn’t a snow plow for every road.

I’ve never been to a state that gets actual snow that does a better job. That’d be because I never travel outside the northwest.

I’ll take three feet of snow over 40 below any day.

 

In arkansas we don't have much of anything. Sunshine takes care of it along with the post frontal dry wind. Cleans it right up if you wait a day.

Chicago is the worse. They throw everything down in a few flakes turning what should be decent snow into slush that freezes come the night. Then you have a mess.

Ohio is not that bad. Maryland is no slouch either although in certain storms they have elected to wait until it's over, no one is going anywhere anyway.

It's the south I pay attention to, particularly in ice. I have gotten pretty good on ice and be moving when no one else would be. Which is the one reason I am either PTSD or mentally ill now when we deal with ice. Ive had too much of it.

Its not us we need to worry about, it's always the idiot in the 4wheeler (I own one and know enough to stay the hell home...) or the dumbkoft in the prius.

 

NY good, Texas bad
