Weather
Why is it that the local weather man or woman says wintry mix and everyone in the south is in fear that we will be stuck in our houses and cannot get anywhere? We are due for a wintry mix in the higher elevations tonight and early tomorrow. I have lived in the mid west and northeast and they seem to handle snow or wintry mix so much differently than we do here in the south.
The northeast seems to have it down to a science they have their salt trucks loaded and ready to go out and plow the streets. Whereas the mid west seems to have their trucks on standby and then when the snow or ice starts accumulating then they get the trucks ready to go. Having lived in both places I prefer the way the northeast handles things. The south however hears the word snow or wintry mix and everybody seems to panic and say should we close or not. 9 times out of 10 the weather person has made such a huge deal and then nothing comes of the wintry mix and we all panic for nothing. Having said all that I still prefer living in the south to living in the northeast or mid west.
