Your up-North friends have made fun of you by now.

Then, we explain that we never get snow like this and keeping snowplows around just isn’t a prudent way to spend precious tax money. Then, they look at us like the high school senior who spent his college money on a sports car.

Well, the collective “we” may not have snowplows but you can bet your bottom share of FedEx Corp. that Memphis International Airport has snowplows. Here’s one at work Thursday morning. (Watch this to the end for a satisfying thump of snow.)
