I'm only 3 hours from there. Here in Bend we can get a decent amount of snow in winter and always joke about the Portlander's inability to handle snow.

"If it snows an inch there, the city shuts down"

But that was just nuts.

I can top that one.

Mention the word "snow" in the weather forecast. The state shuts down. SC is backwards with snow. They use sand and brine instead of salt.

that looks like an over-abundance of stupid people. Snow on glare ice is a treacherous problem, but those idiots literally did not know when to quit.
