: in Atlanta, if it rains too much they call in a national emergency.
-Really? I don't remember that one.
: If there is a frost advisory, no school.
-Really?
People flock to the grocery store and buy up all the milk, bread and water.
-Oh, so being prepared is a bad thing? These people just don't won't to worry, what's wrong with that? Most of them are very old, and have SET shopping schedules that may be disrupted by snow. Is THAT wrong?
Milk, bread, and water...the three quickest things you can buy that will spoil the fastest. Makes no sense. It's pretty sad really.
-Starving or even going hungery because of some snow would be sadderer, no?
: Back home in Michigan, you could get two feet of snow and your still stuck going to work or school.
-The south is notorisously unprepared for snow, ie salt on roads, adequate scrapers, and whatnot. It might snow, it might not, and to towns with small budgets, "might" don't mean much. Michigan knows it's coming, and is well prepared. Good for yall.
