Because if you have live most of your life in the north, going out even In sketchy weather has been a norm your whole life.

When our kids went to college in the south, the first snow (1” using snow term loosely) jumped in their 4x4 to go shopping, cause that’s what you do when school is closed, no ski lodge available.

I still remember their first phone call “Every thing is closed what is wrong with people is just Snow”

Bonus for our son, he would pick up all the employees in his Jeep, drive to their restaurant, only place open. Made a killing because it snowed an inch, making everyone happy there was hot food.
