And while I get that Georgia is ill-equipped to deal with icy roads and thus even a small amount of snow can be a big deal, I also know that the rest of the country is laughing at us right now.

And work was super busy today, most likely thanks to this. Even at the deli counter, just nonstop customers.

as someone from NJ I forget that many places do not get a lot of snow so like, an inch of snow is nbd here but down south it's like OH MY GOD WE'RE GONNA DIE

Pretty much. :/

There's an old Peanuts strip where a single snowflake is falling and Sally yells at the top of her lungs, "CLOSE ALL THE SCHOOLS! CLOSE ALL THE SCHOOLS!"

That's us.

me at ren

Kay practically lives in Canada so

this vine is accurate

I'm a northerner.

30 degrees out: OH MY GOD IT'S COLD
bitch you ain't seen cold
-10 degrees out: /frozen solid
oh time to get the winter coat and gloves out

it's in the 20s out rn and I have my window open and tho my hands are a little cold I am otherwise fine

SUCH A STARK CONTRAST and we live in the same country

Kay ur more north than i am

u got dis

I don't have the window open, but yeah last night I went out in like... a light cardigan and a long-sleeved shirt (with holes all throughout the sleeves) and that was it

Lexi was like "EXCUSE U WHERE IS UR JACKET" and i'm like "you're in a hoodie also i'm cute."

it was snowing out and I just had a hoodie

and a scarf

and thin gloves on but circulation issues mean my hands get cold real quick

OUTSIDE OF THAT

I had a long sleeved shirt on under my work shirt and then my work pants with some cute af leggings underneath

and then my Uggs

I don't need a coat my hands and feet are smothered in warmth I'll survive

Yeah, yeah, we're all wusses, I know.

It isn't even snowing here. We've had some rain and it's unpleasantly cold, but the real problem is that it's gonna drop into the 20s overnight and ice over the roads.

oooh yeah

I'm guessing they didn't send salt trucks through or brine trucks?

to prevent that

They do, but they don't have very many, since, well, we don't get this sort of thing a lot.

I know one year there was a snowstorm down south and people actually died because no one down there knows how to drive in snow

which...is understandable

TBH THO PEOPLE UP HERE DON'T KNOW HOW TO DRIVE IN SNOW EITHER????

they get stuck and are just like WHAT DO

rock the fucking car u plebe

(which is just alternating between drive and reverse until you have enough momentum to "pop" out of the spot)

...Or you and your (consenting!) partner start "rocking" the car in a different way, wink wink nudge nudge

/actual 12-year-old

omg

I mean it's kind of cold to do that esp in the middle of the road
