Cold but no snow in Eastern TN, these people don't know what real cold is. My car will be out in a few days when temps return to normal.

I didn't know Sabal palms could withstand sub freezing Temps. Wow.

We've had ours for a number of years. We just cut the dead leaves off in the spring and it grows back even stronger.

You guys are adorable. This is what a snowstorm looks like. JK, have fun out there, be safe. I don't think that even a single snowplow exists between Texas and North Carolina.

I'm in Crestview. Looks like we got 8+ inches here.

I lived there, 2008-2010. One day I was at work and heard it snowed in Crestview.
The snow was long gone, before I got home.

I think this basically corresponds to
"How often does it snow there?", "How many snow plows do they have?"
and "Does anyone there buy snow tires?"

Many people joke the southern response to snow but we don't have the resources or infrastructure to clear roads and the statistical frequency for people to learn or be educated on how to drive in it. This can really add up and just not be worth the risk in the grand scheme for literally zero-1 times a year

We have snow plows! And by "snow plow" I mean we have a few dump trucks with a way to mount a plow attachment, and we have drivers whose snow-plowing experience averages out to a day every 2 years.

We have so few snow plows in SE Virginia...
When I was new here in Jan 2015, we had snow that sat on the ground for 3 days.
The snow plows hadn't plowed anything but the main roads (one lane, each direction) before the snow melted.

The next time it snowed like that, my neighbor tried to go somewhere in his 4WD Jeep.
I watched him spin tires at opposite corners, and not go anywhere, because his front and rear differentials were open.


Today I drove my Evo to work, on roads that really could use a plow, hoping that my all season tires were good enough.

Crazy. I think it was 2010 that there was now on the ground in each of the contiguous states. I was in Alabama at a plant site and the guys were mad that I brought snow from home (I am from Buffalo). They had about 4" and the area came to a standstill.
