My area experiences snow 2-3 times a week regularly. Thats a bigger issue than a handful of days a year.
And your area probably has the infrastructure to deal with the snow.
In areas where it's a few times a year it doesn't make sense to maintain a fleet of vehicles to make conditions safe.
They probably just pour salt on everything and then wonder why all the plants and fish are dying.
Given buddy's outfit in the meme, I'd reckon they get snow pretty often. Sure if you get 5 cms of snow in Florida, thats a weather emergency. 5 cms of snow in Minnesota is just business as usual.
"Experiences snow" is different from "gets dumped on for hours and hours straight like those once every year or two level storm".
We get a lot of lake effect snow. The bigger storms aren't cleaned up for several days and in major situations like that, sure shut non essential services down, but I've heard people make this same argument about a light rain so I'm always a little skeptical is it actually the weather or do they just want any excuse not to come in.
