A picture of a guy on a bicycle taken from a window. The roads are covered in snow and the weather looks cold and miserable. Caption reads “This dude has to be either going to get weed or pussy.”

    We rarely get snow in Texas; we get a solid sheet of ice that covers everything. The city also doesn’t plow, and nobody has snow tires because it’s only going to be a day or two.

    Yeah, southern drivers don’t know how to drive (in or out of snow, really), but places like Denver and Dallas have such different experiences that it’s not really fair to compare them. It’d be like mocking Alaskins because they’re miserable in 90°F; they don’t have the AC to handle what is incredibly mild weather to me.

    Not saying you’re mocking or disrespectful, I’m just on my soapbox.

      Yeah, my exs brother was from New England and went to school in the south. One year there was a snowstorm that closed everything there for a couple of days. He made a bunch of money doing package store runs for his dorm because he knew how to drive in the snow, but he said it was still much worse driving conditions than at home because the town didn’t have any snowplows and had to scrounge to get enough sand for the main roads
