How often do you hear about people dying in the south from 90+ degree weather? I mean its only like that for about 3 months.
Have 90+ degree weather up north and the world is coming to an end.

I can tell you that my first year living in Chicago, I didn't have AC in my apartment. It was pretty much unbearable being inside when it was above 80 degrees. I was a student, too, which meant I was home a lot during the day. Some of the other people I knew in grad student housing didn't have AC and weren't even allowed to have window units. I think the University of Chicago wanted them to die.

all the time, but the nuanced response is that we simply don't have the infrastructure in place to deal with any winter weather down here.
It would be fiscally irresponsible for the government of South Carolina to keep a fleet of snow plows and salt trucks sufficient to cover the state for the very rare winter weather event.

My gripe is that the call to cancel is always made so

very early, then nothing happens. People just need better contingency plans. Have them ready to go in August so you aren't scrambling the day before a possible weather event.
