Haha! I sooo have to agree with Ex-greek on that too!!!! When I was living in Dallas, there was a "snowstorm" one day. I got all excited...to actually see snow in the South. Everyone else there got freaked out. Schools were closed, Art got sent home early from work because of "treacherous road conditions" and on our way to Fry's to do some electronics shopping we passed SOOOOOO many cars in accidents! I couldn't believe it! These people would not last a day in a Northern snowstorm!!!

Here's a pic I took from my patio of the "snowstorm" in Dallas...taken just before my husband got sent home! Hahahahahahaha!!!!



Is that too funny or what?! I don't mean to laugh at all the Southerners, but it just cracked me up when I saw schools being closed for this.....in Nova Scotia schools don't get closed unless the roads are ALL undriveable....meaning that there should be at least 20cm of snow on the ground!!!!

The thing y'all have to remember is that Southern roads are not built for snow, and that there is no such thing as snowtires, chains or anything else like that down here. We don't get much snow, therefore our cities, roads and cars aren't equipped to handle it and our people aren't use to dealing with it. Particularly ice. Ice storms are downright dangerous here.
