here in south mississippi it "snowed" about 1-2 inches and they shut down roads, bridges, and drive ways just because it never snows here and no one knows how to drive in the snow

Yep. I went to East Mississippi Community College last year, and we got like an extra 3 days of spring break because of an inch of snow. It was great.

we got a day off school because it sleeted for an hour it was grand

Sure, we would sweat a lot, but at least we don't suddenly become incompetent on the road.

It's not the sweat that will get you. It's the feeling of constantly breathing underwater from the 100% humidity. My sister in law is from Montana, and her first summer here in Mississippi, she lacked the ability to go outside because she felt like she was suffocating.

I seem to rember when new York or Detroit have heat waves a lot of people get ill.

Improper plumbing so no water, idiots who don't have any fans or air conditioning. I don't live anywhere where heat-waves have resulted in more than a handful of deaths ever anyways so I'm just gonna amount that to "hah, those silly americans"
