    I mean theres nothing that unsafe about the roads in the picture. Thats like regular for a lot of places and people don’t just stop living. I worked as a delivery driver and had to drive in way worse conditions, whats shown wouldnt even have registered as a hazard at all.

      It’s safe when infrastructure exists, people used to snow, and everyone has winter tires.

        This. The entire state of Texas shut down for an entire week, and people literally died in their homes over 2 inches of snow in 2021. 2 fucking inches.

        If your local area doesn’t have the infrastructure in place to support winter weather conditions, any snowfall at all may as well be a 4 ft blizzard.
