My son and his family moved to South Carolina from New York a few years ago. During his first winter there they got a dusting (like maybe 1/4" of snow) and he said "that's nothing, I can handle that" and I said "YOU can, but guarantee no one else can so be careful."
He said he saw four cars in the ditch on his way to work.
Carolina snow is nothing like NY snow. It is wet, nasty shit that readily melts, then freezes overnight. I lived in PA for years, the snow packs, you can drive on it, and the weather is so dry, the snow sublimes, I rarely saw ice.
I live in a desert and we normally get like 1-2" of snow at a time. Once we got 17" in 6 hours, about triple our annual snowfall. Absolute chaos. There are no markers or reference points because it's the desert, even a snow plow wound up in a ditch. I had to pick up my niece from her basketball game in the next town over because her mom couldn't leave her driveway.
No markers, no shoulders, the pavement is generally warmer than the sand so even though there is a ditch, when it's covered with snow the landscape looks generally flat.

On the one hand, it’s funny. But the other, it’s AI. Unless it’s a really good photoshop. But doubt.

I can imagine. Not only do you have drivers not familiar with the conditions you don't have the infrastructure in place to deal with it.
