because of the grand pecking order.

if another city has a winter that's a little bit colder and snowier than your city's winter, then you have to shit all over it and endlessly talk up its horribleness so that you can feel better about where you live.

people in atlanta shit on DC winters
people in DC shit on NYC winters
people in NYC shit on boston winters
people in boston shit on chicago winters
people in chicago shit on minneapolis winters
people in minneapolis shit on winnipeg winters
people in winnipeg are in fact just pygmy polar bears dressed in human clothing.
