and this is why my family in Minnesota laugh at us (and rightfully so IMO)

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.
