#1. You live in Canuckistan. Southern states can't function if they get a 3 inch snowfall.

In fairness, it's pretty much all due to the deep red counties that have trouble thinking for themselves...

It's a real live SNOmg event. Where I am, maybe sleet. Going to get my hair done at 10, hit the gym and come home to bake gingerbread loaves and key lime tarts for neighbors. Life is good.

Why invest in snow plows and street salt in a Deep South state?

Looks like the lowest high is 42 and that's only for one day. Then it's back to the 50's.
Ice on power-lines, roadways (bridges), space heaters, people doing stupid things are going to be the real problem.
Snow plows aren't going to do shht - even if they manage to get them deployed before the snow melts.

...refers to the Gulf of Mexico as the Gulf of America...

No, it's not a cult.
Next, the Dotard will call water dry and they will lap it up.

This is true, calling it Gulf of America is like calling the South China Sea, the Sea of Thailand.

Stupid, everyone knows who runs the place, and it certainly isn't America.

An obvious failure of imagination?

You idiot. That's not how or why the Gulf of Mexico was named The Gulf of Mexico.

Who cares why it was named what it was named. The name is the name.
