People in the south don't know snow. If they moved to the midwest for one snow season, they wouldn't do idiot stuff like that. Part of the reason I moved to Virginia was to help out with the kids, since there were so many snow days it was insane, and my brother and sister-in-law were forced to take days off and time off work to deal with the kids. Once, they had the kids with them at my brother's work, and they had to put the kids under his desk and keep them quiet for the entire day. What do they expect working parents to do when they have to deal with the kids all winter instead of keeping them in school? This is just bonehead.

Hopefully, they'll just not vote for the idiot. There are better ways to deal with the no gas... like encouraging carpooling, putting kids on buses, encouraging people to walk instead of driving 5 blocks, etc.
