The thing is, the southern states don’t have the infrastructure to handle extreme cold storms because it’s so rare! Growing up in Pittsburgh it snows all winter, so they have snow plow trucks ready to go out and plow and salt EVERY road, even residential streets. Now I’m living in Tennessee and last year we had a bad blizzard with a foot of snow. Everyone was stuck in their houses for ten days bc they only have a couple snow trucks and the roads were extremely dangerous.

[@johnb128]

This reaction to the storm, was a typical response which is too little and too late.i was in it headed from Albuquerque to Amarillo. It took 12 hours for me to drive 55 miles just east of Albuquerque. When I finally got to more normal driving I saw the backup on the westbound side that appeared to be 20 miles of tractor trailers shut down because of icy roads and for the most part vehicles sliding sideways on the road and then blocking the road.

[@johnb128]

I agree with everyone, this was not a bad storm, yes there was snow that fell, but from perspective in it. I think that the snowplows - 3 that I saw, were 24 hours too late to keep the road ice free. As a result many tractor trailers just slid off the road, but in the process blocked hundreds if not thousands. By the time one wreck was resolved another happened within a mile. So through the day and night , there was stop for 3 hours then move forward a quarter mile only to be stopped again. The policeman were doing all they could do, but that was after the wreck. They should have had snow plows or salt or whatever out 24 hours earlier. Of course you are totally screwed if you go into that kind of roadblock with little or no fuel. I can only blame NM for their lack of preparedness… but not the police.

Please stop making comments when you don't know all of the facts and you don't understand just how dangerous blizzards can be if you're not prepared for them. And my last comment to you is do not be pissed off at Colorado for being a Democrat state there are plenty of people who live here who voted for Trump as well. I don't think any of us have stated don't give a state disaster relief because of how a state voted. I am tired of this situation where Americans don't want to help each other out attitude any more.
