Ever notice that bread, milk, and eggs are spread out in the grocery store? It's because they're needed for so many things that chance are, any shopper is going to need at least 2. By spreading them out, you walk through more of the store and are more likely to but other things. So yeah, people buy those 3 staples.

Just the bread and milk around here. And it’s for sandwiches and cereal because there’s a high chance your power is going out too and you can eat sandwiches if you’re tired of canned food. The milk is for kids, since we all know they can live on cereal. Bonus, you can stick the milk out in the imaginary snow bank to keep it fresh.

My family moved to Middle TN from Michigan when I was 6. We used to just kinda hang our heads a bit low with no real come back when our family up north would talk trash about southerners closing everything in winter and how they can't drive in it. Well... I made a very strong realization several years ago. Yeah, in Southern Michigan it's relatively easy to drive in snow and ice - the whole topography is pancake flat and all the roads are straight unless it's to go around a lake. You can literally see the curvature of the earth! So if someone up there hits some ice they gonna slide for a bit and unless they hit something they are gonna be perfectly fine. Now... Here in Middle TN, if there is ice your car is probably gonna go flying off the edge of a cliff and end up in some holler about 150 feet down, and ain't nobody gonna find you til maybe mid spring. If you are on anything other than an interstate and it's icy out you. will. die.

If you have never seen a lifted truck gently drifting sideways down the road it is a magical experience.

In Georgia, if the weatherman even mentions in passing that there MIGHT be a few snow flurries coming, I believe it's law that you must go to the grocery store for milk, eggs, and bread; then to the gas station for gas. We get mostly ICE. Either freezing rain or sleet, or a combination of snow, sleet, and freezing rain. The good part is it only lasts a couple of days. And since it lasts so short a time, we just take a day off and enjoy it. It's great spending time with the kids playing in the snow. When I was in Geneva, New York, I loved when it snowed, but after a couple of months of nothing but snow, and how dirty and ugly the sides of the roads were because of whatever they put down and plowing it off to the side, I was sick of seeing snow. And after watching several seasons of "Heavy Rescue 401," I've realized that you northerners can't drive much better than us southerners. My best friend even crashed his car when he hit a patch of black ice. He couldn't drive on ice and he was from New York. Ice is just about all we get in Georgia.

And sure enough, that was demonstrated when I drove south to Marietta during an ice storm. Everything was fine until I got to Cambridge, which is about 45 minutes north of Marietta. Then SUV's and pickups started flying by the people who driving cautiously. And then we saw those SUV's and pickups after the ran off the road into the median. But now the whole state gets less snow, due Climate Change. So, virtually everyone is less skilled (but at least many people still know to slow down).

I'm thinking it must be PTSD from all those Northern blizzards they had to live thru. It used to be great fun watching them mob Lowes and Home Depot, snatching up every portable generator, heater, and propane bottle in sight - that is, until a few year ago, when Lowes and Home Depot got tired of them bringing back all that stuff they bought for the "snow emergency" but never used, to get their money back, and having to ship all that crap back to their warehouses - they finally came out and said "You bought, you own it, deal with it".

I will say, the worst are the actual local drivers. *Nobody* knows how to drive in actual ice. Not a single fucking person. However, this is easily counterbalanced by the fact that nobody wants to leave their houses, so the number of people on the road drops significantly. Which mostly leads to most accidents having just been people skidding off the road at notable turns. Of course, this is Texas, so stocking up is actually a thing we have to do now since the chucklefucks in charfe have done shit to put any pressure on fixing the power grid. It's having issues handing the heat in summer. Y'know, the one thing Texas has been dealing with since before our grandpa's grandpa's grandpa was born.

One thing you forgot to mention is that southern winters are WET. It makes a difference. In the north the weather gets way colder but it's a dry cold that parkas, gloves, thermal underwear and some exertion can easily beat. The only obstacle then is cold weather gear claustrophobia if you're not a northerner. But a damp cold - especially a southern cold front that can't decide between freezing rain and slushy snow - can crawl into all but the warmest clothes and chill you to the bone. Stay out in that weather long enough and it will wear away at your sanity.

@@moonkenzie In my part of KY (just north of the freeze line) our roads would thaw and refreeze daily. There was a hill with several switchbacks between our high school and the northern county line. That hill is risky in high summer! The Assistant Superintendent of schools lived at the bottom of that hill. Every morning he got up at 4 am and tried to drive up that hill. If he couldn't get past the first switchback, we did not have school. Partly because of risk, but about 1/3 of the student body of the high school was north of the hill. We would lose our state education $$ for that day if our attendance dropped below a certain point. Add in all the snowbound houses at the end of long driveways and all the unimproved farm roads and there was just no point. My senior year we were out 2 solid weeks for snow, ice and cold temps.

I'm originally from Ohio/Indiana (farm boy that went Navy and retired here with my Southern Magnolia wife), and when I saw the large, wet flakes coming down I warned my professor that it was going to be bad. He totally ignored my warnings. Two hours later and everyone was losing their minds, trying to leave the campus and either stuck in traffic or in a wreck. I just parked my car near the Samford gym, got issued a mat to sleep on, and pulled my cold weather sleeping bag and emergency rations out of my trunk and hunkered down, reading my assigned work for the night and munching on life-boat cookies. Next morning I got breakfast at the student cafe and then drove home using back roads and a lot of kitty litter (great for traction). Took me a couple hours (normally a 15-20 minute commute) to navigate around the abandoned cars and heavily iced areas, but it all worked out. 😏 You know, I was just at the Publix near Green Valley around 8:30pm and I thought I smelled snow...😱

Alpine + Nordic skiing, sledding, Biathlon, hockey, ice fishing, snowshoeing, all that fun stuff. It does get cold here though, especially January - February. Most years we get around 10 ft of snow, and it is amazing to ski in. Temp can drop below -60°F in Feb though, so watch out. (Everything does shut down up here if the temp is above 95°, but it also takes -40° for things to shut down in the winter) (also, towns do put sand, dirt, salt, and other kinds of grit on the ice to make it easier to drive, but they only plow main roads, so sometimes you are on your own. Plowing your own driveway can be a nightmare if the snow is dense) (also, chains on tires is mostly for tractors and things like that, not your normal everyday use car)

The kids were 3 and 4 and we bundled them up to sled the backyard as soon as our daughter stepped off the porch she disappeared. The snow drift was that big. Thank God she had a pink coat on. We easily found her and let’s say she was NOT HAPPY 🤣🤣🤣. Our daughter tragically lost her life in a car accident when she was 15 so this memory is EXTRA special.

During that time I encountered people wearing be giant heavy winter coats all "freezing" while I'm running around in a sports jacket eating ice cream. New York City doesn't feel cold, even when it snowed, it didn't feel cold. It wasn't uncommon I would walk around without jacket and people would think I was crazy and I would just laugh. Want to know why it never feels cold? BECAUSE THEY DON'T HAVE FREAKING HUMIDITY LIKE WE DO!!!!!! Ok I'm calm and my passionate hatred for the perpetual pool we call the air around here has settled. I'm not kidding however, about what I said. NYC could be below freezing and it didn't feel anywhere near as bad as it does in TN when it's 30 degrees. If you northerners want to feel what winter in the south is like, then the next time it's below freezing soak a blanket in ice water, wrap yourself up in it and go for a walk.

Thank you for that toboggan comment, grew up in Kentucky and that's all I and everyone else around me has ever called it, finding out that outside KY and up north and out west that it means sled was a surprising moment.

I spent a year in a real snowy part of Japan, so now I've adapted to life in both seasonal hellscapes. Granted their summer is near as bad as ours in August...

Did you bathe in the Japanese hot springs with the snow monkeys?

Love it! I’m in southeast Missouri in the “Bootheel” and we are southern here no matter what the rest of the country says. We still talk about The Great Ice Storm of 2009. EVERYONE remembers is and how many days we survived without power which was 18 days for me and mine.
