I wish I could blame southerners for being bad at driving in the snow, which might be partially true. But the reality is that none of them are prepared for it. The plows aren’t ready to run at 4 AM. They don’t have mountains of road salt waiting to melt the ice on that hill. Nobody has snow tires on their cars. Considering all the shit that goes on to mitigate the problem in the North, putting the average northerner in the south during these events might not actually improve the conditions out there very much.
