I can see that.

Up north, people are used to driving in the snow. We own a lot more snow plows than Atlanta, and the drivers have more experience with snow removal.

I keep a shovel, kitty litter (for traction) and a recovery strap in my car. It makes sense for me to prepare for snow. I won't even buy a RWD only car because they suck in the snow. I would not expect somebody it Atlanta to take the same precautions.
