Yeah, traffic was a mess, my 35 minute commute took almost 3 hours. Luckily I avoided the set of the Walking Dead there, that was a bit north of where I was traveling.

Basically here they don't have any snowplows, the de-icing trucks are a joke, and no one has snow tires on their cars. It's just a catastrofuck as soon as it starts coming down heavily. I am from the Buffalo area and I had a hell of a time staying on the road, so it isn't just the result of people unused to snow. The roads are just all iced over and dangerous as hell.

This happens in the north and we just deal with the lovely commute and don't set our cars on fire.

Having lived in the south until I moved to New York at the start of winter, I can confirm that people down there will lose their goddamn minds over every little bit of winter weather. People just roll with it up here, but down there I've had my university close in 52ºF weather because light snow flurries started coming down and they were shutting down the bridges.

Stay the gently caress off the roads down there.

Yeah, the first flakes fell in Raleigh around noon, I left work about 11- not because I can't deal with driving in snow, but because poo poo like this happens every time it snows here.

Yeah, I've learned that there's no virtue in being daring. As soon as there's the slightest bit of snow, everything closes down so there's no place to go anyway.

Just put a kettle on to boil for some tea, and watch some movies or open up a good book, snuggle with the cats, post on the internet.

That's ridiculous. I have snowpiles taller than me here, and have for months. My car has been literally buried in snow. I chipped off an inch of snow that was coating my entire car (to go to the beer store...). It's not that hard to drive in the snow? Like, I realise they don't have many plows/salt trucks down there, but... just drive like you would in a really lovely downpour. In closing,

It's just a regional thing. I lived in Canada for a minute, but now I live back on the gulf coast and folks aren't used to driving in wimpy amounts of snow, just like people in the northeast get their poo poo wrecked by babytime hurricanes like Sandy.

Well I'm sure plowed and salted roads has no real effect on how well people can drive on them.

Plows and salt trucks make all the difference, and they basically don't exist in the south. I've driven to work in a foot of snow up here, but in the south I've been home stuck for an entire day because the city closed all the roads out of my neighbourhood for an inch of freezing rain.

None of that is an image and a subtropical climate's inability to deal with freezing weather is only mildly funny.

In our defense, we (the people) handled Sandy pretty well. It was everything we built and owned that couldn't take it. It would be like getting an inch of snow in the south and every other house falling down.
