Why do us southerners wish for snow every year, only to be disappointed? We get teased every year, and every year we get disappointed. Yes, it snows in the south, but in the deep south it’s a rare treat. And when there is even the slightest forecast of snow every abled-body person is at the local grocery stocking up enough food to last a month. You know just in case the weatherman might be wrong and it’s actually going to be a blizzard instead of the forecasted dusting. And lord help us when it does actually drop an inch or two of snow because we don’t know how to drive. Just take a quick drive after a dusting of snow and it’s evident from all the cars abandon on the side of the road. But we honestly can’t help it. So yes, when it does actually snow, we go a little crazy. We buy too much, build one too many snowmen, rig up one too many homemade sleds, and get a little on the careless side. Even if only a snowflake or two, the redneck in each of us does rejoice.
