Last time we drove interstate in the snow was Jan 24. Can’t speak to 81 as we did 95/66, but after it was dark, those interstates were barren snow covered highways. Didn’t even see a plow in the 11 hours we drove. .
I’m down here in Danville off 86/29 and let me tell you, despite brining and sanding heavily while plowing we still have lots of ice covered residentials. Growing up in NJ, the plan here seems like brine and let it melt. .
Haven’t measured but it sure looks like we’ve got at least that here in Danville. Plows running on the mains and lots of powder all over the neighborhood. .
