When the dust settled after the recent research piece was conducted by the U.S. Geological Survey, the results were staggering, if not outright frightening.
Louisiana doesn't deal well with ice and freezing temperatures. We grind to a near halt, but we have dealt with it at least three times in the last decade.
This winter has started off pretty rough with temperatures dropping and a layer of slippery slush on the streets, but some residents in Shreveport/Bossier are making the best of it!
A recent video capturing the icy and snow-covered conditions on I-49 in North Louisiana serves as an important reminder of the importance of heeding state officials' advice to avoid traveling during icy or snowy conditions. Not only do we have less experience driving in these icy conditions we also do not drive vehicles with the proper snow tires making traveling during this time extremely dangerous.
This DIY project won't take you more than 2 minutes. In the video, @jmg8tor cuts a pool noodle to match the length of his windshield wiper. Then he cuts it down the middle and places it on the wiper blade to protect it from freezing to the glass overnight.
