From 2020 to 2022, every state except Hawaii (and Washington, D.C.) reported at least one winter-related traffic death.

It points out that states like Michigan, New York, and Pennsylvania face severe winter conditions with heavy snowfall, icy roads, and frequent blizzards, making driving particularly hazardous. These states often experience road closures, whiteouts, and require drivers to be well-prepared with winter tires, emergency kits, and knowledge of how to handle vehicles in snow. Additionally, the article mentions that less obvious states like Colorado and Minnesota also suffer from extreme winter weather, where sudden weather changes can catch drivers off-guard. The piece emphasizes the importance of understanding local weather patterns, having the right vehicle equipment, and being cautious on the roads to mitigate the risks associated with winter driving.
