A Canadian realtor who recently moved to Huntsville, Alabama, was surprised by the intense reactions to a light snowfall. She took to social media to ask locals about their snow preparedness, learning about the unique challenges and cultural norms surrounding winter weather in the South.
On Tuesday, the skies over Alabama spit a few flakes of snow that melted before they hit the ground. With more snow – with a few inches of accumulation – in, the memes about Southern snow panic and “milk sandwiches” were flying around the internet. Schools and businesses announced closures. People emptied the grocery store shelves.
Hall moved to Huntsville, Ala., from Toronto six months ago with her husband, Daniel, to establish Hall Realty Team, which helps people buy their dream homes or invest in property. The Halls “fell in love with Huntsville” when they passed through while taking a road trip through the U.S. last year. “Everyone is so friendly here,” she said. “People would wave and my husband would say ‘Do you know them?’ But they were just being friendly. Everyone’s so friendly.
For the record, the tone of her post was respectfully curious with no hint of making fun of how we deal with snow. “Back home we’re all set up with snowplows, road salt, and winter tires, but I’m guessing things work pretty differently in Alabama! … Any tips for a snow-experienced Canadian adjusting to how Huntsville does winter?”In an interview with AL.com Thursday morning, Hall said she appreciated the explanations and advice.
