Snow is coming.

I believe the meteorologists are on the supermarkets' payroll.
So you did finally meet @TarHeelNation11!
Hey southerners! 
I hope none of you seriously panicked about the snow. I was shoveling driveways all morning today, some had over four foot drifts. Because up here, snow isn't a cause for concern, it's just another day in New England Hope none of you rushed to the grocery store to buy all the bread and milk

Talk to me when you have to shovel out of a 40-inch snowstorm...twice in the same winter.
Amateurs.

You don't understand, some of us can barely see our grass through this mess you just don't understand how bad it is.Hey southerners!

Seriously though, if you live in northern states and get major snowfalls, why would you NOT have a snow blower or some better way to remove all that damn snow? I couldn't imagine trying to shovel 3ft of it.
I challenge every one of you northerners to come drive perfectly on this big ass hilly road near my house when it's covered in ice. I've lived up north and it's a wee bit easier to drive on flat icy roads than the hilly ones....just sayin' lol.
We are truly blessed in the south because this awful crap rarely happens and 99% of the time we have beautiful weather. That's why we are more pleasant to be around hahahaha

The fact is the south can't afford to have millions and millions of dollars worth of equipment sitting around that we may use once or twice a winter. The north on the other hand has a much shorter ROI for their tax dollars.
There are hills/mountains in the north too.
It's difficult to drive in the snow. Actual snow - not a dusting. But northerners won't crawl along at 10mph because there's an inch of snow on the ground - so there are definitely accidents. Probably more than in the south for that very reason.
I feel like there's money to be made in the renting of snow equipment. You guys have the trucks needed, I assume. You just need the actual plows and salt/sand.

I've driven in actual snow. Drove in the nor' easter that hit Boston in December 2007 and did just fine. In fact, I parallel parked on 56th Street in Manhatten, NYC with over a foot of snow on the ground but Saturday in Clemson with a mere 4 inches of snow, I slid my way to work. There is a difference, sorry.
That last part is an important distinction. The biggest problem with snow in the south IMO is that it almost always turns into ice. The temperature rises during the day enough to melt the snow, and then the liquid freezes when the temperatures drop again at night. Plows don't come into my neighborhood so the streets here are still an icy mess.
Ugh, that looks like a fairly young pup so hopefully she's ok, but that brings back unpleasant memories of a visit to the emergency vet after our dog played on slippery snow/ice. She ran around having a blast and seemed fine at the time, but then a few hours later she was just standing around looking at us and whimpering; her hips hurt so bad she couldn't even lie down.
