A question for the snowbirds

The Arizona equivalent to snow is rain. People here absolutely cannot drive when there’s the slightest bit of moisture to on the road.
As a side story... I had a long lay over at the Phoenix airport once. I had a hard time getting anything to eat because it had rained the day before... Being from Syracuse, where a foot of snow means you are still expected to be to work on time, the fact that rain had stopped everything was something I couldn't understand.
