Let them get a Cat5 hurricane and we’ll see who’s laughing.

Minnesotans (and any northerners for that matter) would shite and piss all over themselves if they had to ride out a tropical storm. Different areas are prepared and unprepared for different weather

Meanwhile, they die during the summer when the temp gets over 90.
I have students whose warmest clothing is a hoodie. They should not be at a bus stop with a wind chill in the single digits.
There is absolutely no reason why EBR should not be virtual if closed Wednesday. We are a one-to-one Chromebook district. Only the lower grades would be without.

Let’s see how your family in Minnesota does with two weeks without power, unable to get fuel, and 95° during it all after a hurricane.

they are farmers in rural MN - they could handle that situation a lot better than you or I could, believe me

Who'd thought the public school teacher's unions were running the Archdiocean schools? The 2X in 2 weeks they've closed for being "overly caustious."
A lot of archdiocese schools use public school busses

And St Bernard schools are closed tomorrow

Maybe if they didn’t wear their hoodies in the heat of summer they could handle more cold. Or divert shoe money to warmer clothing.

A few years back I fished here with 3 farmers from SD…. They could not fish past 11:00. The heat and humidity whipped their asses.
One was not a farmer he was a project manager that worked indoors for Daktronics - he fared the best.

When schools wait until the last minute to cancel, it puts parents in a bind as they need to figure out what to do with their younger kids.
It's much better to tell parents the night before, so they can plan, then it is at 6 am to say hey instead of a 9 am arrival time, it is now closed all day.
Rationally, yes. I'm 100% with you on that.
But we had folks show up at the school board when they cancelled school ahead of time (night before) and the system fizzled out (which happens a lot here right along the Ohio River).
My larger point is people are going to bitch no matter how you call it.

I had a former coworker that was from Minnesota and lived here in Louisville for about 10 years before moving back. And after he was here a couple winters he better understood the issue.
The difference is Minnesota typically gets straight-up snow. Much easier to plow and manage up to certain amounts. Once you get an accumulation you can scrape or plow it's fairly easy to manage and somewhere that gets a shitton of snow is going to have the infrastructure and equipment for it.
Most of the time in the South it's a nice ol' glaze of freezing arse rain before any snow comes down (if snow comes down at all). And even your Minnesota folks aren't doing shite on a sheet of ice. Add in temperatures below 15 degrees and you can't use the typical salt/brine mix Southern states utilize to clear roads.

The School of Hard Knocks will remain open throughout the upcoming weather event.

I remember the snow from just a few days before Christmas in 1989. It started out as sleet the freezing rain and then snow.
This is what South Lafourche looked like:
