I've been living where it doesn't snow so much after most of my life in the colder climes. So when it does snow, the locals are utterly unprepared for it and generally shut down the area. They can't drive or walk in it either. But the driving problems are exacerbated by the design of the roads, all concrete with no asphalt, lots of overpasses/bridges which freeze up and little to fight off the worst such as snow plows and salt trucks for the roads. The drivers are too inexperienced to handle driving in bad conditions and that makes it so much worse.
The most recent was an ice storm that was gone by noon. But since the road right in front of my place is 3 lanes each way, I got to watch the folks find out the hard way they can't adjust for the conditions.
I have no idea how they'd handle a minnesota winter but it'd be fun to watch if you're morbid.
