+1 on that. Same story anywhere in Northern New England too. I remember talking to someone from FL years ago who had no idea why they would ever need to put salt on the roads. Blew my mind at first. Of course, growing up around here I also remember people thinking "Why would anyone need air conditioning in a convertible?"
