The South is a very special place. Anyone who lives here knows how magical it can be. From sweet tea to football, once you come to the South you somehow end up never leaving.
One of our defining features is the weather. Once you get through the BLAZING heat of 100+ degree Summer days, you can spend the fall, winter, and spring months enjoying the beautiful weather - not too hot and not too cold.
The snow, however, never seems to fall. And when it does you know it will only be a fleeting moment before it’s gone. If you’re a southerner, you know these ** things to be true about snow.
1. You're in disbelief when you see other places getting snow in September
2. You laugh when you hear about the Northerners having t shovel tons of snow out of their driveways
3. Snow only comes once a year, but when it does it is magical
4. The snow that Southerners get isn't really snow, it's either slush or ice. There is no in between.
5. It doesn't make sense when you hear horror stories of Northern children going to school with 3+ feet of snow on the ground
6. Schools shut down if there's even a slight chance of snow
7. EVERYTHING shuts down for a week when it finally does snow
8. Literally no one knows how to drive when it's snowing
9. Meaning that if the sky is dark and snow is falling (it doesn't even have to be sticking) that there's a good chance someone will wreck into you
10. The second a prospective "snowstorm" is discussed on the news, ALL of the milk and bread disappear from store shelves
11. The snow doesn't stick. At all.
12. When the snow comes, you don't know what to wear
13. Unless you're a new Southerner, you probably don't have snow gear
14. You probably don't have sleighs either so you use a makeshift sleigh out of a trashcan top
15. You don't really know what to do with the snow. There's not enough to build a snowman, but there's just enough to do SOMETHING with it
16. That one day of snow per year is more than enough for you
