  • So everyone that lives up north is a liberal? I live in upstate NY and I am not. The majority of liberals in NY live in Manhattan and they don't drive.

  • Most liberals are in the city, which dominates the votes no matter what the counties do. I also live in the NY, and most people around me are conservative. I'm neither since Idc, also your comment had nothing to do with his snow pic.

  • It had everything to do with his pic. He's indicating southerners (conservatives, even though not all are conservatives) are wimps because they can't handle the snow and northerners (liberals, even though not all are liberals - my point) are tougher because they can. It's pretty obvious he posted this pic in response to the OP calling liberals wimps. Was it really that hard to piece that together?

    This was a joke based on his geographical location along with him calling other [b]people[/b] wimps. Nothing else. Some of the snowiest states are red. It would be silly to make a joke like this based on politics.

    75 and sunny is considered a beautiful day. Schools get canceled only if temperatures are very dangerously cold or if there's so much snow that the snow plows can't handle it all by the time school starts.

  • Being from Colorado, and living in Texas and Alabama, I can confirm this is how it works. I remember the first light dusting we got in San Antonio, it was less than half and inch and didn't stick to the roads. I woke up, looked out the window, shrugged and started getting ready for work, only to show up to an empty building because they closed down due to "dangerous road conditions".

  • I just remember it being all over the news a couple years ago of Atlanta completely shutting down over 2 inches of snow. Roads were filled with empty cars that people had left, work and school was canceled, everybody was panicking. It was kind of hilarious to read about. A tiny bit of snow in the south is treated like some sort of natural disaster.

  • As someone who has lived in Alaska, yeah, other places have it harder. But that's not taling into account other things. People quite possibly haven't driven on snow before- they don't know about Icy roads. Because it barely snows, there's no equipment to deal with it, it goes about far as "throw some salt on the ground", but then people complain because that "erodes the bottoms of cars". When I lived in the area just around Atlanta, we got snow once every four years. If we were lucky. Yeah, close the school, who knows when the -blam!- the kids will get a chance like this again? Of course our snow is very different from Northern snow. It's...wetter, for lack of a better word. The snow in Alaska was so...dusty. Wouldn't stick. Often hardened. Even if the snow is melting, that creates a situation similar to rain, which is dangerous to drive it. Coming back around, there's no reason to dis on anyone. We all have different climates and weather and geographical demands. ~1 or 2 summers ago, I had to deal with 90 degree weather [i]inside[/i] my house because our A/C broke. Not sure Noetherns can imagine that. But I won't try to down on them for it.

  • Southern ohio. It got cold enough last year for a bunch of people in pickups to drive across the river to kentucky for no reason, and proceeded to go into the nineties to low hundreds in the summer. I got the opposite of you and my furnace broke, but luckily our house is really old and has a wood stove for heating. I know several people that broke their ac's but they got closer to 80-85 degrees. But thats every year in ohio.

It gets close to 90s because of near constant sun(-45 in Winter)...but goddamn you're so thankful for it because it keeps the mosquito swarms away. Holy -blam!-. Again, each region has theur differences. I think it's silly to try and call one out because their problems are different than others.

  • Actually here in Ohio we can easily get up to 100% humidity in the summers we get the worst of both kinds of weather and it sucks
