All you northern people laughing saying "oh down here you all do this and that."
Up there where it snows often, they have the tools and prep roads. Here they don't do much of shit and when they do it's a shitty job. You don't drive regular on the roads here as you would up north.
They cancel schools here and not there for the exact same reason.
You simply can't drive at a decent rate of speed on ice if the road hasn't been treated in which case there is no ice.
