True. It's mildly irritating when people on the internet are like "LOL look at the south! They can't handle the snow! People in NY deal with this every day!!!"
Well no shite, the north deals with this every day so they have proper procedures in place to carry on as normal. We don't.

I'm stuck in downtown bham. Had to sleep in the office last night. Wife just sent me a video of the sand/salt truck going down some small arse street in Homewood, but they haven't done shite on 65....

IMO, icy weather right at or below freezing like what Birmingham and the gulf coast got is worse than the powdery snow that occurs when it's 10 degrees out.....and that's with or without salt/brine trucks.
Combine that ice with a lot of river crossings and elevated expressways, and that would be a very serious situation anywhere.
I'd much rather it be a deep freeze and snowy than freezing rain and that slushy, dangerous crap that you guys got over the past week or so.

it's just like when there is a heat wave in the northeast or upper midwest and people die from 100 degree weather
