How do you survive?

>>53984185
One town I lived in used a finer grain of sand or something. Another used rocks and salt so everyone's wind shields get fucked each winter.

Commercial and private companies use whatever is cheap.

>>53983065
USA climates are more varied than Canada.

States that get a lot of snow are used to it, while states that aren't accustomed to snow freak out.

they started clapping when the snow plows showed up, but stayed out for too long and died of exposure

>Still... 4 dead... WTF?!

If you never drove in snow before then you dont know how to handle it. This isnt in the North or Northeast US but in the South.

Minnesota is just beside/under Northern Ontario, so Southern Ontario Toronto fags like me are souther than them and it's less serious here for cold weather usually.

Just moved from New Brunswick, Canada to the US south a couple months ago. Got their first snowfall of the year Wednesday, I saw over 30 cars crashed on the side of the road, it took me 2.5 hours in traffic to make a 30 minute drive, and this transport jacknifed right in front of me.

No wonder southerners lost the war. These incompetent fucks can't do anything right except gain weight.

I live in Tennessee. We have maybe one snow a year. We aren't prepared for it because it never happens. Also we don't get a lot of snow but we get a lot of black ice.

It's really not that bad. Any accidents usually come from teenagers who are too stupid to drive safe in good weather.

Most of the adult in the area I live are so scared of ice they actually drive super safe.

It is a really ingenious system if you actually looked it up. Fahrenheit knew exactly what he was doing. It is a much better system than Celsius
