Question: What percentage of U.S. roads are typically affected by snow or ice during winter months?

Answer: 70%

More than 70% of the nation's roadways are in snowy regions of the country that accumulate over 5 inches of snow during the winter months. Speeds on arterial roads layered with snow or slush reduce 30-40%, while snow decreases highway speeds by 3-40% depending on the amount of snow.
