Our whole city shuts down when we get one inch of snow. People would think it was the end of the world if we got that much snow.
People here hit the grocery store to stock up on milk, bread, batteries, etc, you have it, if they even predict snow the next day. Schools close, businesses shut down. It's quite insane.

Lived in NC for 9 years. An hour or so west of where Brujah lives.
He is not joking or exaggerating.
I was a shift supervisor in an aluminum die cast plant. There was more than once when I had folks walk out so they wouldn't be snowed in at work. No snow falling; just forecast.
And I never did figure out the "get bread and milk" thing.
