They need to understand that winter weather in the Southern US has an entirely different dynamic than what typically occurs elsewhere. I can say from personal experience that road conditions from a foot of snow in Pennsylvania is much less hazardous to deal with than 2 inches in Dallas - for two reasons - the weather patterns for snow/ice in the Southern US is completely different than elsewhere (the main engine for those events is driven from Gulf moisture), and because the infrastructure that is in place isn’t designed with frequent snow/ice events.

And the frothing dipshits in charge are often too proud to say “You know what? We aren’t equipped to handle this. Y’all need to stay home”. Which is TOTALLY FINE TO SAY if it happens to be the truth.

Remove 2/3 of the commuters from that situation and most of the country hears a five-minute blip on the evening news.

I will not point and laugh at their lack of plows, but you’re damned right I’m going to point and laugh at their hubris.
