The asphalt is warm and the snow first melts on contact, then freezes as ice, and no salt is applied to melt the ice, so Southerners know to stay off of Southern roads after a snow.

But a little patience helps, the snow and ice doesn't last long, so when it's safe to go on the roads we wave at all the "visitors" in the ditches as we pass by. Bless their hearts.

When I moved to Virginia from the cold country, I used to laugh when all the cars in the ditch were 4x4's. I guess nobody told them that ALL cars have 4 wheel brakes.
Now I'm back in cold country (well it used to be anyway) and I have a 4x4 so don't bother to shovel my driveway unless the snow is well over the axles.

Hmmm, looks like a fun, though short-lived, way to go...

The removed posting was something about the first snowfall in a valley in Montana...

Sirzones was not clear in the posting as to what made "no sense", and I have no idea what was meant.

Hint: 2 songs by the Eagles
