This is for strictly mildly interesting material. If it's too interesting, it doesn't belong. If it's not interesting, it doesn't belong.

This is obviously an objective criteria, so the mods are always right. Or maybe mildly right? Ahh.. what do we know?

Just post some stuff and don't spam.

But Canada has way more snow than the U.S., so that doesn't seem to be a major factor.

Could be that Canada is ready for the snow it gets while you see some states shut down completely when they get a light dusting of snow.

Yeah this is what I'm getting at.

Canadians and northern states know how to drive in snow and in general can afford more comprehensive plowing and salting programs. Mississipi is both broke AF and gets snow rarely.

So the programs suck and so do the drivers.
