PSA everyone in Alaska wonders how the hell is anyone allowed to drive in the south (read: any state that’s below Canada) when they can’t even handle the lightest dusting of snow on their roads.

Texans think their trucks can drive on snow, but they fuck up by driving normally.

Fun story, Portland, ME has a record low temperature of -39F, which is colder than that of Anchorage, AK at -38F.

Checkmate, liberals.

(Wait, Maine extends north of Nova Scotia and PEI, so maybe it doesn’t count as “South of Canada”)

Pelee Island in Ontario is at the same latitude as California’s north border, so I guess Oregon and Washington are not south of Canada as well.

Seattle is north of the northernmost point in Maine. As is most of the Canada/US border west of the Great Lakes. So there’s actually a lot of territory that fits this criteria.

Maine is should be part of Canada. It’s just easier that way.

Canada definitely does not want Maine. Except maybe the lumber in western Aroostook County.

Seems like the big trucks have no problems driving around here in the northeast but if you’re in a sedan like an inch of snow can cripple you.

I don’t man. Trucks kind of suck in the snow unless you load the back with weights.

4 wheel or all wheel drive + more mass probably helps out quite a bit.

Sometimes I forget how little the south experiences snow lmao.

Me in Iowa: currently -20 w/o wind-chill. The snow in the ditch of my gravel road is now officially higher than my car after several blizzards. My car won’t turn on and had to be towed. Just a 2 hour delay today for school lmao.

Yeah, we hate it down here. The infrastructure to manage big snows is non existent in a lot of places in the south. Obviously there is like zero public transport. You just end up with a bunch of people who never drive in the snow and ice being over confident. I always just try to stay home or go into work once things thaw out.

Also I used to never own any good shoes or clothes for really cold weather, so it just sucked all around lol

Hey give yourself some credit. This shit happens every year in Iowa and every year people forget how to drive in the snow lmao. Every time it dusts there’s accidents.

In the northeast a lot of districts are just doing remote learning days. Which also means they are calling days for far less accumulation than normal.

Haha, you soft southerners, being without power for 12 hours and having to drive to work on unsalted icy roads because the city has no cold weather infrastructure and your bosses don’t understand the concept of dangerous conditions

Come down here in August so I can watch you dry-drown in the 90% humidity while wiggling my land gills in pleasure.

Heat ain’t really the problem though. It stays above 100 degrees during the day for the entirety of august here in Dallas, and as long as it’s dry and I’m not exerting myself too much, I’m probably not gonna get very sweaty. On the other hand, if it’s 90% humidity at 100 degrees, I’d imagine someone who’s not used to that’d be sweating their ass off even if they were sitting in the shade drinking ice water with no shirt on lol.

From personal experience, if anyone does any sort of manual labor in the summer in an environment without AC when it’s that humid, their clothes will be more wet than dry within 15-30 minutes, and that’s even if they’ve lived here their whole life and gotten used to it.
