The difference is how much snow respective members are seeing. I mean, over in some parts of Africa and SA you go around telling people you drive a RWD instead of AWD and they'll think you're nuts too.
People in places like Florida or Texas see snow maybe 12 times in over a decade. Even NY sees REAL snow maybe once a year. For people like us, having a dedicated set of tires for maybe 2 days a year just isn't practical.
