It's particularly bad along the cold front when there's very warm humid air behind it. (And yeah, infrastructure. I'm not going anywhere if there's a foot of snow that hasn't been plowed.) There's a lot of truth here. It wouldn't make sense for southern states to invest heavily in snow removal when it happens so rarely. As for temps, it's odd because a full week of -20F up here in the Midwest doesn't actually yield very much snow (if any at all).

At least with covid, hoarding kind of made sense, but it was still dumb. People who hoard are getting way more than they need. People are gonna be trying to return stuff in a week. The amount of ignorance I've heard ITT from southern people about winter weather is insane. Even with all of our infrastructure, it can take many days to clear out a snowstorm. In extreme cases it can take a week or more for snow removal to catch up.

No one cares that you think your first snowstorm of your life is the scariest thing ever. It's pathetic listening to you southern people complain. Your snow will be mostly gone within a week. You guys don't even understand this. You are complaining about a few days of rough roads and power outages. This is simple, this is not a time to hoard. Hoarding almost always results in a ton of wasted food. Stop wasting food. Covid being frightening didn't justify hoarding. How much food was wasted back then?
