That's funny, my understanding was the exact opposite,that concrete was used more frequently in the northern US states because it can be plowed, where asphalt is cheaper but easily damaged.

That's interesting because in the part of the northeast where I live, northern new england, all the roads are asphalt with only a few exceptions. And I would guess that it's easy on the plows, because the asphalt will give where as concrete will not which would damage the plows.
