Well down here we don't have the equipment to deal with snow...like chains, studded tires plows sand and salt trucks ect, like ya'll have available up North so with our snows we choose to stay in till it melts in a day or two.
We certainly don't freeze to death with some snow.

What I don't get is even dying from 80 and 90 degree weather... if you have a shower use it, cool your body temp. Buy a fan if you have no air conditioner, find a shade tree, something.

What you're missing is that essential elements such as architechture, are different from region to region. Windows are arranged in one area for maximum cooling, and for maximum heat in another climate. Couple this with things like ventilation in apartments, etc etc, and you have a recipe for disaster when the UNEXPECTED arrives.
