I'd imagine that it's pretty chaotic down there if you never get snow, nothing is built to cope with snow.

Yeah, DOT is closing down roads and there are wrecks everywhere xD

Brighten up, the sun is out there somewhere!

Yeah Our Gov. issued a "State Of Emergency" for NC

Oh no we love the snow as long as we're not in a wreck!

 

I just love how people freak out over a little bit a snow. Move to Colorado and you can get all the snow you want!

 

 

Oh that's nothing, you should come to Canada and see how much snow we have in some places!

Yeah or Alaska

Yeah or Alaska

 

Alaska, Canada, Washington State, Montana, Idaho

Don't Forget MN.

The difference between snow in southern Alabama and Florida and snow in Colorado, Canada or any other place that regularly gets snow is that they aren't prepared for it.

 

They usually don't have gritters on stand-by, they build roads very differently, the mix is different and thinner laid than up north, the roads are also built without taking water/snow displacement into account, usually roads crest on the middle to displace the water away from the road.

 

The cars are also very unlikely to have winter tyres and nearly nobody has experience with driving in snow on top the usual overestimation of your own driving abilities.

 

To put into perspective, Colorado would be in a bit of a tight spot if the temperature rose to 30C overnight. Nothing is built for it, the melted snow will cause substantial flooding because nobody has taken measures to prevent it.

I don't know about the roads part I go to MI every so often to visit my mom who just moved and the roads there are CRAP. the salt and frost weddging make the road horrible but everything else you got right.

It's snowing here in louisiana to! The world is coming to an end!

we dont get snow over here :(

Last weekend they had some snow in the northern parts of Holland, but not over here :(

 

Could someone put some snow in a box and send it to me? That way I'll at least get a bit of a winter feeling.
