This morning, the temperature was 20 degrees.
This would be well within the norm in New York or New England.
I am in New Orleans.
New Orleans is totally unprepared for this level of cold. Most New Orleanians are unaccustomed to this type of weather, and do not know how to drive on icy roads or even walk on icy pavement. A mother and baby died not far from here after the mother lost control of her car and it fell into a drainage canal. There are no trucks to spread salt or sand, nor is there salt or sand to spread.
I'm glad I don't have to drive anywhere for the next couple of days - I know how to drive in these conditions, but I'm worried about sharing the road with people who don't.
If you don't know how to drive in icy and snowy weather, no matter where you live, STAY OFF THE ROAD.
