combination of that, environment-specific low bid road engineering, and a complete absence of any infrastructure to either A) travel without a car or B) clear or prepare the roads on a government level

also northern drivers are spoiled by pretreated roads. the interstates weren’t pretreated for the first major snowfall in the twin cities and it was a major clusterfuck

I should be clear clusterfuck by minnesota winter driving standards. There were jokes about "when did we turn into atlanta?!" but it was really not at all like the south.

I also drove through northern illinois during the major snowstorm they got over thanksgiving weekend. The interestate slowed down to 40 mph between Chicago and Wisconsin! And there were a couple of fender benders safely on the side of the road.

In the south there would've been a 100 car pile up.

I remember a few years ago I took a bus from Milwaukee to Madison after about 8 inches of snow had fallen, and the highways weren't plowed yet

Travel time only took double what it would've been on a clear day. I wonder how that bus route would've handled 8 inches if it were anywhere further south

Yeah, the salt runoff from winter roads is actually making the freshwater systems in the northern states waaaaay saltier than they used to be, and that is of course completely without effect on the ecosystems of that area
