You’re from Montana, not Missouri. That, by itself, is the difference. I’m from Illinois and grew up with snow keeping us locked in the house because it was up to the bottom of the windows. I can drive in snow, in ice, in tornadoes, in blizzards, in rain. It’s shitty and it’s scary. Missourians can’t drive when it’s 100 degrees and sunny out. Kids would literally die if these bus drivers were expected to drive on sheet ice in 9 degrees.
