I agree. As a Yankee new-engander Mass-Hole (Ie from massachusetts), I think it is much easier to just close for a few hours or a day and let the smaller infrastructure clear things out. it only snows one or two times a year down here. that is still less down time than the northern climes usually have to deal with in winter.
Another missing piece of the infrastructure is the private plow guys who do the parking lots and stuff. Companies don't want to have people falling and sueing on their way into the office. Just stay home.
As for people in the North... the problem is just as bad in CT and Rhode Island, and I assume other coastal places in the north, where it snows less than inland, but they can't play the infrastructure card. If it snows more than 2 inches in New Haven, all of a sudden people can't drive. Maybe it DOES have to do with there being more Ice where it is warmer.
