re: Why does snow close the South?

Why do some places close when it gets really hot?

Because they don't have central AC and it isn't something they deal with a lot.

That never happens.

My Northern friends make fun of us...and they're right. We are fricking pussies!

yeah, but they suck at football so frick them

Yeah the Patriots are such a shitty football team.

If by that you mean twice a year, you're right.

Where?

Again, no shite. They don't want to take the risk of it happening and be unprepared to deal with accidents. Better to close up shop and keep people off the roads.

Yup - use the ATL disaster from a few years back as an example.

Twice a year? In South Louisiana? Bull shite.

This phenomenon isn't limited to South Louisiana. It happens across the South where it happens relatively more often.

Why does this thread come up every time this happens?

Every. Single. Time.

---

Because DOTD is not prepared for snow or ice covered roads.

This. They don't stock mountains of salt to spread on the roads. Thank god, because we don't have to worry about our vehicles rusting to shite because of it.

And no one here owns snow chains or studded tires.

Different regions handle weather events differently.

Look what happens when a hurricane goes up the north east.

Look what happens when areas that don't get mudslides get a mudslide.

Look what happens when areas that don't get a lot of rain get 8 inches in 2 days.

It's hard to comprehend. I know.

They bitch and moan when it gets hot.


frick those yankee bastards.
