I lived in the North, and we had snow tires and didn't care how much snow came down. The show must go on, so to speak. These storms in the south happen too infrequently to invest in snow equipment. So they don't. Of course our trucks also don't rust away either.

Snow does not rust trucks or cars. It's the salt they spread on the roads in eastern and northern states that rusts vehicles out. I'm sure you knew this already.

We get about 4-6 times the amount of snow in CO, then where I grew up at in WI. Out here they primarily sand the roads, sometimes they use mag chloride if there's going to be ice. None of my trucks are rusty at all. A friend of mine in WI has a 2006 truck just like one of mine, he's on his 2nd set of doors & rocker panels already because of all the road salt, his frame is scaly & flaky as F. Frame on my truck is still all black like when it left the factory.

You are correct, I know about the salt. My '03 F150 had wheel arches that swiss cheese envied. My '95 F250 has no rust at all. Definitely the salt.

20 plus years back when I first moved out to CO, and I would go home to WI to visit a few times year, I'd take a 40 foot trailer load full of cabs & beds, and fenders, to a few big swap meets in WI, with rust free western truck parts. That stuff sold like crack in a ghetto, I always sold everything I took there. A bunch of times I even made trips back there without a swap meet to attend, once people had my name & number, and I had enough stuff pre-sold, I would go haul a load of parts to WI and disperse it among 3-4 guys that fix & flip trucks in WI. Buzz back out west with a pile of cash, and start buying more trucks to strip. It was a nice side hustle for a while.

Square body Chevy's were the bread & butter. Some fords in the mix. Not many guys were fixing 1970's-80's dodges at the time, so I only took dodge stuff if it was pre-sold on request. Chevy stuff I could not get enough it to WI to meet demand. One trip CO to WI, I sold two square body chevy beds and a cab & doors right off the back of my trailer in eastern Iowa. I stopped to get steak & eggs at a truck stop, came out to leave, 3 guys were walking around checking out the trailer load parts, one of them asked if any of it was for sale, I said hell yeah it's all for sale, 30 minutes later they were back with a empty trailer, and cash, and we unloaded the parts they wanted.

First time ?

2nd time, last winter a chick on Facebook marketplace was selling a snowmobile, she tried to solicit me to her only fans account, after I asked a few questions about her sled for sale.

I told her I can that free on porn hub.... she laugh, then she blocked any further messages from me.
