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.

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.

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.
