If we got any form of snow on our roads, we would not know what to do either.

When we get snow on our roads no-one knows what to do and everything grinds to a halt. Despite the fact that it happens most winters. 
I saw a few snowflakes this morning but fortunately that was all. I hate snow. Or rather, I hate having to walk to work because the road is blocked by people wheelspinning helplessly in the snow.

Part of the thing is that the predictions said Atlanta and Birmingham both would only get a dusting. No one salted roads, no schools closed, and people went to work as usual. When everyone realized it was going to be considerably worse, everyone tried to get home at the same time, and you know what happened next. You have to admit, if Buffalo or Chicago got twice as much as they expected at about 1 pm, they would have trouble too.

True.
But what's with all this rain?
Easily the wettest January for 100 years!
It's a good job it isn't colder (unseasonably warm, for the time of year, doncha know), or we'd up to the roof tops in snow.

My friend is stuck in Perth tonight because the snow gates closed before she could leave. That's the kind of fun we're having up here right now.
Enjoy your rain, southerner.

One last tiny patch of snow remains in my yard after the past two days had near-normal temperatures.
And for a few seconds I thought "HOLY CRAP, IF AUSTRALIA IS GETTING SNOW, THOSE CLIMATE ALARMISTS MIGHT BE ONTO SOMETHING" but then I remembered where you are.

3.25" of snow on the ground and moderate sleet falling here in Chapel Hill. It may change over to rain or ice though. We had traffic problems similar to Atlanta today, but not quite as bad because our metro area has less people. Places to our west may get up to a foot of snow.

As one person said, "Most of the South is a weird combination of subtropical/continental with extreme winters thrown in every once in a while."

High winds (reaching hurricane levels!) and lots of flooding and rain down south in Britain.

Nearly every part of Australia is going to get rain, except the far west coast. That's where I live, but it is rather normal in Perth to get next to no rain during this time, but a rather good monsoon low went some few hundred km's away from us, so much of eastern WA is getting lots of rain.

Just the normal run-of-the-mill hilarity, Mr Sup: studied incompetence, old people carried out of their homes, and cats getting rescued out of trees.
