Following a winter storm that brought ice and record-breaking snow to several major Southern cities, cleanup efforts are now in progress. In New Orleans, crews are working to remove snow using methods similar to how they clear trash, drink cups, and plastic beads after Mardi Gras festivities. Temperatures are gradually rising across the U.S. South, offering hope that remaining snow and ice will soon melt away.
Louisiana Department of Transportation and Development spokesperson Daniel Gitlin emphasized the need to let Mother Nature take its course in clearing the snow and ice. However, up to 200 miles of interstate are expected to remain closed until Friday due to treacherous black ice patches. Louisiana is facing a shortage of salt after treating roads.
