Maybe it’s because I live in Chicago and have been known to commute downtown on the train, and am therefore used to seeing switch fires every single winter, but this I assumed that this was the norm in all cold-ish areas during the winter.

Correct. It’s an important source of income from tourists, however.

If you live in the Midwest, this is normal winter weather.

I see from the 10 stars this post has received that there are at least 11 readers on giz that watch Fox News.
