It's the same everywhere in the mid and southern US.

What you've shown is typical for Southern states who rarely get a snowfall that accumulates on the roads.

St Louis can handle an inch or so of snow before the city streets turn into a free-for-all. We only get a snow that big once every couple-few years, so it's not worth the money to increase the infrastructure to deal with that kind of snowfall.

When I was living in the mountains of Colorado, though... a foot of snow is no excuse to not show up at your job on time. People don't need to be told that 35 mph is pushing your luck on the freeways.
