    Sometimes I forget how little the south experiences snow lmao.

    Me in Iowa: currently -20 w/o wind-chill. The snow in the ditch of my gravel road is now officially higher than my car after several blizzards. My car won't turn on and had to be towed. Just a 2 hour delay today for school lmao.

      Yeah, we hate it down here. The infrastructure to manage big snows is non existent in a lot of places in the south. Obviously there is like zero public transport. You just end up with a bunch of people who never drive in the snow and ice being over confident. I always just try to stay home or go into work once things thaw out.

      Also I used to never own any good shoes or clothes for really cold weather, so it just sucked all around lol

        Hey give yourself some credit. This shit happens every year in Iowa and every year people forget how to drive in the snow lmao. Every time it dusts there's accidents.

        That 133 car pile up in Ft Worth was horrifying.

      In the northeast a lot of districts are just doing remote learning days. Which also means they are calling days for far less accumulation than normal.
