    I often wonder how much money Northern states would save on roads if it weren’t for the extreme temperature swings.

    Regularly hit highs over 100 in the summer, lows below -30 in the winter. That’s an awful lot of compression and expansion. Not to mention the abuse of heavy plows and their blades catching upheaved concrete.
