Ugh. Why are the no fun police out in such force today? Go ruin your mom's fun and leave the rest of us alone.

Just a point of fact - 4wd DOESNT HELP YOU STOP IN THE SNOW. It helps you DRIVE (the d part of 4wd). if you are a jackass who thinks everyone is a pussy for driving slow in the snow when you have got 4wd you are likely the fucking problem, and more people with 4wd in the snow who have never driven in the snow would…

In Atlanta, people get into car accidents and panic over 2 inches of snow.

In New Jersey, I park my car by e-brake sliding it to the opposite side of the street in 5 inches of snow.

(note this is only time I have done this and it was a great way to start my morning)

Rick Grimes before the zombie Apocalypse?

I live in rural WI, meaning the plows don't get around until at least 6 hours after the snowfall. I drive a rear-wheel drive car, which means I get poor traction. We've had at least 12-18 inches of snow, probably more. And we've been just fine. Claiming the South was unprepared for the snowfall just because it rarely…

you know here in Ohio they never get the forecast right, i mean never. so you learn to deal with the unexpected. or you watch the news before you leave your house and see what it looks like, we have these fancy gadgets called windows.

Yeah, really. When you're state is so poor that you can't prepare for snow—you tell businesses and places to close and people not to drive. But it looks like they didn't see it coming until it was too late. Still, they could have relayed that, "Hey, we have no snow equipment so if it does snow, be prepared for bad…

while i recognize that the lack of infrastructure for snow accounts for untreated roads, etc, what accounts for the amazing volume of accidents? because if "no experience driving in the snow" is it, it also suggests an incredible lack of common sense on the part of the drivers who are causing these collisions. go. …

The irony is, that kind of fun will actually teach you how your car handles in the elements and give you more experience about how to drive properly and handle evasive maneuvers.

I live in Auburn, but am not a Southerner. The panic here is unnecessary and adds to the dilemma, most of the chaos could have been prevented by educating drivers on proper winter driving techniques and investing in contractors from other parts of the country to bring in plows and salt ahead of expected storms.

It's…

Appreciate the valid points. The snickering of the northerners is understandable, however I wish people would understand that our infrastructure simply is not setup to handle this sort of weather, and contingencies are almost non existent because cities simply cannot afford to budget year after year to handle said…

After reading this I still think the majority of the South are incompetent morons. I don't buy the "we never have snow therefore we don't know how to drive in it" excuse. There isn't a true correct way to drive in the snow, it's all about instinct and common sense. This whole situation is a mixture of stupidity and…

I don't get what all this "we weren't prepared" line is. You don't have to "be prepared" to slow the fuck down when it's all ice on the road.

I think the reason why people from up north laugh when things like this happen is because of the following. Here (Northern NJ in my case) 2 inches of snow doesn't even bring the plows out, schools will likely be open at normal time and no one will take sympathy on you being late to work because of the snow. Not…

No, you guys still need to learn how to drive. 2 inches of snow regardless of plows or not is not enough to shut down a city. Pathetic

When it snows where you live, the salt and the snowplows are out on the streets before you even wake up. When you talk about six inches of snow in your city, you are almost definitely talking about six inches of snow on the median strip and shoulder, and highways that are slick, but clear. I'd take that over two…

SNOW ... Time to panic!!!

As a person living in Canada, I laugh at the pictures. We live with that kind of conditions for 4-5 months of the year, yet our roads aren't sprawling with cars that are in every direction except the correct one.

Got pulled over at LSU for doing icy parking lot handbrake turns... cop cursed at me and threatened to take me to jail. when again in Louisiana will i be able to do that? probably never.

Nah, still a punchline
